+ * This is the default implementation, which uses atomic64_t.  Which is
+ * rather pointless.  The whole point behind local64_t is that some processors
+ * can perform atomic adds and subtracts in a manner which is atomic wrt IRQs
+ * running on this CPU.  local64_t allows exploitation of such capabilities.
