add atomic_xchg() to all the architectures. Needed by the new mutex code.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.
The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.
This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

alpha, sparc64, x86_64 are each missing some primitives from their atomic64
support: fill in the gaps I've noticed by extrapolating asm, follow the
groupings in each file. But powerpc and parisc still lack atomic64.

Introduce an atomic_inc_not_zero operation. Make this a special case of
atomic_add_unless because lockless pagecache actually wants
atomic_inc_not_negativeone due to its offset refcount.

My alpha build is exploding because asm/atomic.h now needs smb_mb(), which is
over in the (not included) system.h.
I fear what will happen if I include system.h into atomic.h, so let's put the
barriers into their own header file.

As stated in Documentation/atomic_ops.txt, atomic functions
returning values must have the memory barriers both before and after
the operation.
Thanks to DaveM for pointing that out.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
