I like the general approach -- simplification is a good thing.

So, for the moment:

Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

I need to do a more detailed review (e.g., the memory-barrier changes
and the incorporation of some grace-period processing into call_rcu()),
after which I will either ask for changes or give a Reviewed-by.

I need to do this more-detailed review before we ship to mainline.
(Gak, already two weeks since Jiangshan sent this!!! My apologies!!!)

Thanx, Paul
