Comment (by holin):

 sobukus: I was looking at their cvs repo.

 Yes, indeed, a correct implementation is all that is needed. I'd say, do
 what jack has done and copy the relevant bits from the linux kernel
 sources, but NOT for all possible archs, just the ones that are actually
 used and tested by someone.

 I don't think we need to have anything to do with Boehm's garbage
 collector project, unless somebody wants to contribute code there. FWIW
 there are many other projects that have local atomic ops implementations,
 sometimes done from scratch due licencing (or ignorance.) As nice as it is
 to try to avoid duplicating effort, I think it should be enough for us to
 have a good implementation in ffado and make sure it eventually propagates
 to jack/jackmp/ardour (if it uses atomic ops).

 In the end, I don't really care what the solution is, as long as I don't
 have to start filing patches to <some obscure project> upstream and/or
 distros before I can get ffado going on my 64-bit SMP ppc box or
 ultrasparc or whatever other-than-x86 arch.
