+ * atomic_inc_not_zero_hint - increment if not null
+ * @v: pointer of type atomic_t
+ * @hint: probable value of the atomic before the increment
+ *
+ * This version of atomic_inc_not_zero() gives a hint of probable
+ * value of the atomic. This helps processor to not read the memory
+ * before doing the atomic read/modify/write cycle, lowering
+ * number of bus transactions on some arches.
+ *
+ * Returns: 0 if increment was not done, 1 otherwise.
