Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Committed a fix, but I am unable to build for this version of Solaris here so we may need to iterate.

The _nv versions are necessary because, in our interface, we return the result of the atomic operation to the user. Its slightly more efficient on certain architectures to, for example, increment a counter and not check the result but typically I check for overflow so perhaps the overhead is unavoidable in typical use cases. Admittedly, the interface design was a judgment call based on providing what we need while implementing a minimum set of data types and functions.
