/* implementation notes:  this is an epoch-based RCU implementation.  rcu_seq
 * (global variable) counts the current epoch.  Threads hold a specific epoch
 * in rcu_read_lock().  This is the oldest epoch a thread might be accessing
 * data from.
 *
 * The rcu_seq global is only pushed forward on rcu_read_lock() and
 * rcu_read_unlock() calls.  This makes things a tad more efficient since
 * those are the only places it matters:
 * - on rcu_read_lock, we don't want to hold an old epoch pointlessly
 * - on rcu_read_unlock, we want to make sure we're not stuck on an old epoch
 *   when heading into a long idle period where no thread holds RCU
 *
 * rcu_thread structures themselves are RCU-free'd.
 *
 * rcu_head structures are the most iffy;  normally for an ATOMLIST we would
 * need to make sure we use rcu_free or pthread_rwlock to deallocate old items
 * to prevent ABA or use-after-free problems.  However, our ATOMLIST code
 * guarantees that if the list remains non-empty in all cases, we only need
 * the "last" pointer to do an "add_tail()", i.e. we can't run into ABA/UAF
 * issues - but we do need to keep at least 1 item on the list.
 *
 * (Search the atomlist code for all uses of "last")
