Are you serious? Let's be honest with ourselves. I probably would have
been a better plan to not put commonly useful code deep in Gallium in
the first place.

Apparently this is what I get for trying to do the right thing an pull
the atomics code out into a place the rest of the Mesa project can use
it.

How about instead of an annoying bikeshed thread we just finish moving
bits of Gallium's util directory to src/util and be done with it?
