While trying to see how bad a "allyesconfig" looked for sparc32
I noticed a lot of build errors were related to missing
definition of atomic64.

A few samples:
kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:117:19: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'trace_counter'
kernel/trace/trace_clock.c: In function 'trace_clock_counter':
kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:126:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'atomic64_add_return'

To add generic support for atomic64_t looks to be trivial.
But do we want to add this - when it is not really required?

We could of course hide it behind a 
CONFIG_SPARC32_ATOMIC64 option..

I do not have the footprint numbers yet, will post them in ~24 hours.

I think we should add it, please submit your patch formally :-)
