Interesting. The "right" way to do this seems to be to put both "classic"
and "realtime" RCU into the kernel. The "classic" RCU would be there
to support synchronize_sched() without calling getaffinity(), while
the "realtime" RCU would be there for the standard RCU API.

I will work this into my -mm efforts.

Thanx, Paul
