IPI and need_resched? That's incredibly heavy: why do you want to add
this? Real-time tasks still call schedule() every so often, so I
don't understand your aim here...

Agreed. Added a new field to rcu_head, and hence a new arg to
call_rcu(), so now you do things like:

call_rcu(&myfoo->rcu, kfree, &myfoo);

Other changes:

Added synchronize_kernel(), which is useful for module unload.
Architectures which don't enter schedule() in idle loop check rcu.
Optimizations for uniprocessor.
RCU callbacks are allowed to sleep.

Cheers,
Rusty.
