[RFC][PATCH 4/7]: changes notifier head of diechains and addnotify_chain_unregister

From: Chandra Seetharaman
Date: Fri Nov 18 2005 - 21:20:45 EST


This patch updates the usages of the various die_chains. It covers the
changes posted by Keith Owens. Among them is addition of an unregister
routine; with the new fixes unregister will not race with callouts.
