The atomicity concerns should be the same as current zone management
using nr_sectors, and these are already being supported for open, close,
etc.

TBH, the comment is most about making sure that the IOCTL is extendable
from conception.

At this moment most of the users we have in mind are user-space
applications that are zone-aware, so I would way this is necessary.

This said, I understand if you prioritize pushing the code that enables
in-kernel users and then re-iterate on this.
