As it seems these comments were obsolete in the kernel and the code=20
documentation will be changed in an upcoming kernel version. Patches on the=
=20
lkml were already acked by different arch developers.

As result we can use atomic_t as datatype with a 32 bit range since 2.6.3. =
I=20
would like to promote the patch version with atomic_t instead of atomic64_t=
=20
for 32 bit seqno. Marek already declared that he would prefer the version w=
ith=20
atomic_t. Maybe you can check too if you can ack this change.

Best regards,
	Sven
