[PATCH v2 0/4] eal: update public API to use stdatomic atomics

[Tyler Retzlaff]

top post

just a heads up on this series, please defer review until v3 is
submitted.

clang is stricter in atomic type enforcement than gcc so a new revision
is needed that removes the direct use of intrinsics replacing them with
the standard atomics for all _Atomic types.

thanks
