    READ_ONCE: Fix comment describing 2x32-bit atomicity · 5872f1a2
    Will Deacon 提交于
    READ_ONCE() permits 64-bit accesses on 32-bit architectures, since this
    crops up in a few places and is generally harmless because either the
    upper bits are always zero (e.g. for a virtual address or 32-bit time_t)
    or the architecture provides 64-bit atomicity anyway.
    
    Update the corresponding comment above compiletime_assert_rwonce_type(),
    which incorrectly states that 32-bit x86 provides 64-bit atomicity, and
    instead reference 32-bit Armv7 with LPAE.
