How about also doing these:?

#define atomic64_sub(a, v)		atomic64_add(-a, v)
#define atomic64_sub_return(a, v)	atomic64_add_return(-a, v)
#define atomic64_add(a, v)		(void)atomic64_add_return(a, v)

The cost to the caller (one or two instruction per call site)
seems to be about the same as for the other wrapper macros.
