You could access the kernel's atomic in-line function from user-space.
(under /usr/src/linux/arch...)

You'll have to include half kernel to satisfy missing symbols - but it's
doable. (At least it worked, last time I tried.)

Oh, I remember alsa (-devel) having a copy of these headers in a
user-mode digest-able form. Not sure though.
