Subject[PATCH 2.6] watch64: generic variable monitoring system
The watch64 system allows the programmer to specify the approximate interval
at which he wants his variables checked. If he tries to specify shorter
interval than the minimum a default value of HZ/10 is used. To minimize
locking, RCU and seqlock are used. On 64-bit systems, all is optimized away.

The following patch can be also pulled from http://jeffpc.bkbits.net/watch64-2.6

Josef "Jeff" Sipek.
