Looks good to me, but

! #define SET_ATOMIC_TYPE_NODE(TYPE, MODE, DEFAULT)             \
!  (TYPE) = build_atomic_base (DEFAULT, targetm.atomic_align_for_mode (MODE));
!
!   SET_ATOMIC_TYPE_NODE (atomicQI_type_node, QImode, unsigned_intQI_type_node);
!   SET_ATOMIC_TYPE_NODE (atomicHI_type_node, HImode, unsigned_intHI_type_node);
!   SET_ATOMIC_TYPE_NODE (atomicSI_type_node, SImode, unsigned_intSI_type_node);
!   SET_ATOMIC_TYPE_NODE (atomicDI_type_node, DImode, unsigned_intDI_type_node);
!   SET_ATOMIC_TYPE_NODE (atomicTI_type_node, TImode, unsigned_intTI_type_node);

if you have to use a macro please #undef it after the last use.
Also if you need to use a macro then make it

   atomicQI_type_node = BUILD_ATOMIC_TYPE (QI);

or even

   SET_ATOMIC_TYPE_NODE (QI)

Thanks,
Richard.
