x86, atomic: atomic64_read() take a const pointer
atomic64_read() doesn't actually write anything (as far as the C environment is concerned... the CPU does actually write but that's an implementation quirk), so it should take a const pointer. This does NOT mean that it is safe to use atomic64_read() on an object in readonly storage (it will trap!) Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: H.
