Locked instructions on two cache lines at once are painful. If
atomic64_t uses two cache lines, my test program is 10x slower.
The chance for that is significant: 4/32 or 12.5%.
Make sure an atomic64_t is 8 bytes aligned.

The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the
atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h
so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h
that can be used on all non-SMP systems.

The atomic_t type cannot currently be used in some header files because it
would create an include loop with asm/atomic.h. Move the type definition
to linux/types.h to break the loop.

Impact: new API
Implement the atomic64_t APIs on 32-bit as well. Will be used by
the performance counters code.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
