Yes, if I'm not wrong zfs uses atomic ops. There's a branch called
thorpej-atomic (Jason R. Thorpe is one of your mentors), you'll have to
take a look at the primitives implemented there and use them appropiately.

This is just to avoid having new code, if you can use the atomic API
from this branch, it will be easier.
