The last time somebody tried to do this there was a pushback due to
kernel tinyfication. So this should really give some numbers about the
code size increase. Also why can't we make this depend on MMU. Is
anybody else than the reclaim asking for unconditional SRCU usage?
Btw. I totaly agree with Steven. This is a very poor changelog. It is
trivial to see what the patch does but it is far from clear why it is
doing that and why we cannot go other ways.
