 Thanks, 

 Should be worth testing so we synchronize_rcu instead of doing call_rcu's
 
Alas take 2 (nor 1) doesn't compile, so here it is again.
So the idea is to balance memory and latency, so that large changes
(those affecting the root node) get at least one synchronize_rcu(),
while smaller changes just use call_rcu(), correct?  This means that
the amount of memory awaiting an RCU grace period is limited, but
the algorithm avoids per-node synchronize_rcu() overhead.

If I understand the goal correctly, looks good!  (Give or take my
limited understanding of fib_trie and is usage, of course.)
