So in the non-RCU case, we could simply replace rcu_dereference_sched()
with ACCESS_ONCE(), right? Thus no need to change the per-CPU
primitives. Especially given that most uses of per-CPU variables
don't even need protection from load/store tearing, let alone
protection from Alpha.

Or am I missing something subtle here?

Thanx, Paul
