it also isn't strictly a 1:1 replacement so some __atomic_ could be text
replaced sometimes you need to evaluate arguments on e.g. compare
exchange to pick the right macro, sometimes there are generic vs scalar
version to deal with.

we already have a checkpatches check but right now it is (I think) being
ignored when merging changes to drivers that have not been converted. so
if we get things converted there shouldn't be any further reason to
accept series that are being flagged by checkpatches.
