lookups.

+ * Latched RB-trees
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2015 Intel Corp., Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
+ *
+ * Since RB-trees have non-atomic modifications they're not immediately suited
+ * for RCU/lockless queries. Even though we made RB-tree lookups non-fatal for
+ * lockless lookups; we cannot guarantee they return a correct result.
+ *
+ * The simplest solution is a seqlock + RB-tree, this will allow lockless
+ * lookups; but has the constraint (inherent to the seqlock) that read sides
+ * cannot nest in write sides.
+ *
+ * If we need to allow unconditional lookups (say as required for NMI context
+ * usage) we need a more complex setup; this data structure provides this by
+ * employing the latch technique -- see @raw_write_seqcount_latch -- to
+ * implement a latched RB-tree which does allow for unconditional lookups by
+ * virtue of always having (at least) one stable copy of the tree.
+ *
+ * However, while we have the guarantee that there is at all times one stable
+ * copy, this does not guarantee an iteration will not observe modifications.
+ * What might have been a stable copy at the start of the iteration, need not
+ * remain so for the duration of the iteration.
+ *
+ * Therefore, this does require a lockless RB-tree iteration to be non-fatal;
+ * see the comment in lib/rbtree.c. Note however that we only require the first
+ * condition -- not seeing partial stores -- because the latch thing isolates
+ * us from loops. If we were to interrupt a modification the lookup would be
+ * pointed at the stable tree and complete while the modification was halted.
