manual: document dependencies on atomic operations
Add atomic operations to the list of generic dependencies. Since this is an architecture option, there is no comment string to be added. Signed-off-by: Anton Kolesov <Anton.Kolesov@synopsys.com> [yann.morin.1998@free.fr: use the new arch-option; remove comment string] Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>
