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! :)  )

Great.  Can you add a bullet to  http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-7.8?

Hi all,

 

There should be very little that is controversial about this branch because it adds primops upon which nothing else depends and which users will not see directly.  But for now I've added it to a branch called "atomics" (likewise use the "atomics" testsuite branch of course).  As soon as Carter and I work out a bit more of the future roadmap I'll merge it into master.

 

Carter, would you like to use this branch to develop the improved LLVM support for the primops that are now added there?

 

Cheers,

  -Ryan

 

P.S. Carter, as you requested I'll add an extra trac ticket for discussion.
