Ugh. My eyes. That's horrendous.

I can't see any better alternatives, but it does make me go "Eww".

Well, I do see one possible alternative: just re-write the bitop
implementations in terms of "atomic_long_t", and just avoid the issue
entirely.

IOW, do something like the attached (but fleshed out and tested - this
patch has not seen a compiler, much less any thought at all).
