So I'd prefer to make SG_MITER_ATOMIC go away entirely, and just
remove the non-atomic case..
A quick grep seems to imply that just about all users set the ATOMIC
bit anyway. I didn't look at everything, but every case I _did_ look
at did seem to set the ATOMIC bit.
So it really did seem like there isn't a lot of reason to have the
non-atomic case, and this flag could go away - not by virtue of the
atomic case going away, but by virtue of the atomic case being the
only actual case.
I mean, I did find one case that didn't set it (cb710-mmc.c), but
pattern-matching to the other mmc cases, that one looks like it
_should_ have set the atomic flag like everybody else did.
Did I miss something?
