- added membar_depends(), needed on smp archs. with separate cache banks where it's possible to get a new pointer value, but the old pointer content (e.g. if the two are in different cache banks and the "content" bank is very busy processing a long invalidations queue). For now only Alpha SMP needs it, on all other archs is a no-op (for more info see atomic_ops.h , http://lse.sourceforge.net/locking/wmbdd.html, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8212 or Alpha Architecture Reference Manual Chapter 5.6.

- atomic_add & atomic_cmpxchg added to ppc - atomic_unkown (used when the procesor does not suport atomic ops or is not among the supported ones), tries now to use a "hash" of locks if GEN_LOCK_SET_T_UNLIMITED is defined => less contention on multi-cpus - atomic_ops.h defines *_UNLIMITED macros when the number of locks or set size are limited only by the available memory (everything exept SYSV sems) - license changes: all the atomic* stuff and the locks are now under a BSD (OpenBSD) style license

- membar_write on x86_64 is by default empty (since on amd64 stores are always ordered)
