    I have just a couple of overall comments.

    - It would be nice if the document were done in RST and placed in the
    core-API manual, perhaps using kerneldoc comments for the macros
    themselves. It's already 99.9% RST now, so the changes required would
    be minimal.

    - More importantly: is there any way at all to give guidance to
    developers wondering *when* they should use these primitives? I think
    it would be easy to create a situation where they don't get used where
    they are really needed; meanwhile, there may well be a flood of
    "helpful" patches adding them where they make no sense at all.

    Thanks,

    jon
