refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

Is there a tree that can take this change? Turns out it is better to propagate changes via separate trees and only leftovers can be taken via Greg's tree.  
Sure, we can take it via Xen tree for rc3.
