[RFC v2 04/13] rust: sync: atomic: Add generic atomics
Posted by Boqun Feng 3 weeks, 2 days ago
To provide using LKMM atomics for Rust code, a generic `Atomic<T>` is
added, currently `T` needs to be Send + Copy because these are the
straightforward usages and all basic types support this. The trait
`AllowAtomic` should be only ipmlemented inside atomic mod until the
generic atomic framework is mature enough (unless the ipmlementer is a
`#[repr(transparent)]` new type).

`AtomicIpml` types are automatically `AllowAtomic`, and so far only
basic operations load() and store() are introduced.
