Hello, Srivatsa.

This approach (of using synchronize_sched()) also looks good. It is simple,
yet effective, but unfortunately inefficient at the writer side (because
he'll have to wait for a full synchronize_sched()).
While synchornize_sched() is heavier on the writer side than the
originally posted version, it doesn't stall the whole machine and
wouldn't introduce latencies to others.  Shouldn't that be enough?

Thanks.
