That's a *very* broad stance to take. For all intents and purposes, eliminating
SRCU synchronization in KVM means eliminating SRCU usage entirely. That's not
completely infeasible, but I don't see it happening anytime soon given how much
KVM relies on the properties of SRCU to avoid unnecessary serialization.
