PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS: Claim atomic*_t maintainership

Since Will and me have rewritten and heavily extended the atomic*_t infrastructure over the past few years, claim ownership of it.

We would also like to add Boqun as he helped out with PowerPC and has shown good understanding of these bits.

We would still defer to architecture maintainers on implementation details, but we'd take care of the interface and cross architecture semantics of the primitives.

It might also be worth us having a shared tree for staging patches, which we could feed into -tip like RCU does. I doubt we're going to be handling huge volumes of code, but having a common development tree surely makes sense.

Also, Boqun, we need to drag you into Europe to get your key signed :)

Thank you, Will ;-)

I will first try to reach out developers in China and ask for their help on signatures.

Regards,
Boqun
