I will scan through the patches...

I looked and here's a general question:
Does even using RCU make any sense here? What we have
is a lot of updates and very very little reads (reads essentially
are done from the control side; the data path is is all about updates).

I am not sure if RCU is a win in such a case - it could make things
worse. At least that used to be the Truth(tm) many moons back.
Is that not the case anymore?
