your subject line indicates the use of C11 which is a standard [1].

the patch itself uses gcc atomics builtins which are not part of C11
standard so the subject line is incorrect and misleading.

dpdk may incorporate support for other compilers in the future so unless
there is substantive justification for moving to non-standard/non-portable
code i'm asking that this change not be made as it will complicate those future
efforts.
