 If this list/array is made lock free using rcu as in changing the
 write_lock in add() and delete() to spin_lock and changing read_lock
-in search_and_reference to rcu_read_lock(), the rcuref_get in
+in search_and_reference to rcu_read_lock(), the atomic_get in
 search_and_reference could potentially hold reference to an element which
-has already been deleted from the list/array.  rcuref_lf_get_rcu takes
+has already been deleted from the list/array.  atomic_inc_not_zero takes
 care of this scenario. search_and_reference should look as;
 
 1.					2.

-	...				delete_element

 					}
 
 Sometimes, reference to the element need to be obtained in the
-update (write) stream.  In such cases, rcuref_inc_lf might be an overkill
-since the spinlock serialising list updates are held. rcuref_inc
+update (write) stream.  In such cases, atomic_inc_not_zero might be an
+overkill since the spinlock serialising list updates are held. atomic_inc
 is to be used in such cases.
-For arches which do not have cmpxchg rcuref_inc_lf
-api uses a hashed spinlock implementation and the same hashed spinlock
-is acquired in all rcuref_xxx primitives to preserve atomicity.
-Note: Use rcuref_inc api only if you need to use rcuref_inc_lf on the
-refcounter atleast at one place.  Mixing rcuref_inc and atomic_xxx api
-might lead to races. rcuref_inc_lf() must be used in lockfree
-RCU critical sections only.
