/* quick RCU primer:
 *   There's a global sequence counter.  Whenever a thread does a
 *   rcu_read_lock(), it is marked as holding the current sequence counter.
 *   When something is cleaned with RCU, the global sequence counter is
 *   increased and the item is queued for cleanup - *after* all threads are
 *   at a more recent sequence counter (or no sequence counter / unheld).
 *
 *   So, by delaying resource cleanup, RCU ensures that things don't go away
 *   while another thread may hold a (stale) reference.
 *
 *   Note that even if a thread is in rcu_read_lock(), it is invalid for that
 *   thread to access bits after rcu_free() & co on them.  This is a design
 *   choice to allow no-op'ing out the entire RCU mechanism if we're running
 *   singlethreaded.  (Also allows some optimization on the counter bumping.)
 *
 * differences from Linux Kernel RCU:
 *   - there's no rcu_synchronize(), if you really need to defer something
 *     use rcu_call() (and double check it's really necessary)
 *   - rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() don't exist, use atomic_*
 *     instead (ATOM* list structures do the right thing)
