So I think I can do that; where readers and writers are fully separated,
but it requires:

 - tripple latch
 - copy operator
 - nested RCU

And the result would be horribly expensive (mostly due to the copy
operator on dynamic data structures) on the update side, which severely
limits the applicability of the scheme.
