Depends on what you call a live system. I tested the functionalities
and they worked okay but considering the failure scenarios, it's
highly unlikely to happen especially on x86 cpus with all its nice
memory ordering rules. Now that it has smp_wmb() on the wake up side
and full mb on waking up side, it's as conservative as it gets, so I
think we're in the safe.

Thanks.
