Later I will submit a full rcu_ltimer patch that contains
the call_rcu_preempt() interface which can be useful for
module unloading and the likes. This doesn't affect
the non-preemption path.
You don't need this: I've dropped the requirement for module
unload.
Isn't wait_for_later() similar to synchornize_kernel() or has the
entire module unloading design been changed since ?
Yes, that was *days* ago 8)

I now just use a synchronize_kernel() which schedules on every CPU,
and disable preempt in magic places.
