Bonus points if you could please tweak to the same multi-line comment 
style as used in this file.

I am not sure if a memory barrier would be useful in between these two 
to ensure no re-ordering. Saying this because Documentation/atomic_t.txt 
and atomic_bitops.txt suggest both atomic_read and test_bit are 
un-ordered, in which case it could be better to explicitly mark the 
expectation.
