Next after what? Please provide full list of patches as you see them.
How do we avoid build breakage if we do only the rename in a separate patch?

Well, I can just write all functions as is. Does it better confirm to
kernel style? I've just looked at the x86 atomic.h and it uses macros
for similar purpose (ATOMIC_OP/ATOMIC_FETCH_OP), so I thought that
must be idiomatic kernel style...
