It has grown a few undocumented barriers again; but I'd like some
feedback on them. /me still hopes some can go.. but these things still
mess my head up.

Scalable reader/writer lock.
Its scalable in that the read count is a percpu counter and the reader fast
path does not write to a shared cache-line.
Its not FIFO fair, but starvation proof by alternating readers and writers.

+ * rw mutex - oxymoron when we take mutex to stand for 'MUTual EXlusion'
+ *
+ * However in this context we take mutex to mean a sleeping lock, with the
+ * property that it must be released by the same context that acquired it.
+ *
+ * design goals:
+ *
+ * A sleeping reader writer lock with a scalable read side, to avoid bouncing
+ * cache-lines.
+ *
+ * dynamics:
+ *
+ * The reader fast path is modification of a percpu_counter and a read of a
+ * shared cache-line.
+ *
+ * The write side is quite heavy; it takes two mutexes, a writer mutex and a
+ * readers mutex. The writer mutex is for w <-> w interaction, the read mutex
+ * for r -> w. The read side is forced into the slow path by setting the
+ * status bit. Then it waits for all current readers to disappear.
+ *
+ * The read lock slow path; taken when the status bit is set; takes the read
+ * mutex. Because the write side also takes this mutex, the new readers are
+ * blocked. The read unlock slow path tickles the writer every time a read
+ * lock is released.
+ *
+ * Write unlock clears the status bit, and drops the read mutex; allowing new
+ * readers. It then waits for at least one waiting reader to get a lock (if
+ * there were any readers waiting) before releasing the write mutex which will
+ * allow possible other writers to come in an stop new readers, thus avoiding
+ * starvation by alternating between readers and writers
+ *
+ * considerations:
+ *
+ * The lock's space footprint is quite large (on x86_64):
+ *
+ * 96 bytes [struct rw_mutex]
+ * 8 bytes per cpu NR_CPUS [void *]
+ * 32 bytes per cpu (NR_CPUS ?= cpu_possible_map ?= nr_cpu_ids)
+ * [smallest slab]
+ *
+ * 1376 bytes for x86_64 defconfig (NR_CPUS = 32)
