Absolutely, thanks. I will remove them and re-test this evening.

Besides, I actually try to be must generic possible (I don't know in
arm64, but in arm most of atomic functions are generated via macro).
Still, I fall down on some specific cases. For instance, we need to
guard atomic_inc_return_wrap in the ifndef bloc (it is missing in my
previous patch) since the definition is made via a macro in arm (via
atomic_inc_return_wrap_relaxed, which will define and generate
atomic_inc_return_wrap in include/linux/atomic.h).

Except if there is a big unexpected problem, I will send a RFC this
week (overflow detection begin to works in my first attempt), I would
be grateful if there is a nicer solution to those problem :-)

Thanks!

Colin
