Fixing generic/atomicity.h is something that I should have done some time
ago.  Mea dorkus culpa, where does the time go.

I've been making good progress on the other projects that I have to do,
maybe I'll reward myself with some v3 coding this week.  (Something that
doesn't use MILSPECs!  Yay!)

A native solution for i386 would still be nice, if it's actually possible.
I was under the impression that the chip just completely failed to provide
enough support to get this correct, but FreeBSD is obviously doing it.
