GHC branch "atomics" pushed

[Carter Schonwald]

I'll follow up with Ryan to suss this out (in the next day or so), in terms
of what makes sense for 7.8, and the roadmap to the native/llvm codegen
augmentations for later.

If i'm to help Ryan on the Atomics branch, does that mean I need to be
added to the commiters list? @Simon? @Austin?
(for now, i'll not touch any other branch! :)  )
