From: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov at cambridgegreys.com>

This moves UML on 64 bit from generic atomics to their x86
equivalents.

Generic atomics bracket most operations by interrupts off/interrupts
on. This is quite expensive on UML - it translates to changing
the signal mask and rerunning the signal loop every time.
