Really?  I guess I'm pretty used to that, and it also makes it 
abundantly clear what the difference between s_m_fetch_add and
s_m_add really is.

On balance I think we're better off sticking closer to the
original __sync_{fetch_op,op_fetch} names.

Does anyone else have an opinion on this naming?


Otherwise the patch looks ok.
