Anyone have an idea how to ensure atomic execution of code in Windows Kernel mode driver?

I need this because my driver will run in multiprocessor system and I have to ensure that some of instruction is executed atomically. The reason for this is the routine is accessing the bus of the system without doing it through the Windows kernel API because th functionality is not provided by the kernel.

TIA,

Pinczakko
 

Use the interrupt request level (IRQL)priority scheme by claiming and releasing spin locks around critical code sections.
