I think this is fantastic! Yes please!

Can I add one more test case?

/**
* radix_tree_lookup_slot - lookup a slot in a radix tree
* @root: radix tree root
* @index: index key
*
* Returns: the slot corresponding to the position @index in the
* radix tree @root. This is useful for update-if-exists operations.
*
* This function can be called under rcu_read_lock iff the slot is not
* modified by radix_tree_replace_slot(), otherwise it must be called
* exclusive from other writers. Any dereference of the slot must be done
* using radix_tree_deref_slot().
*/
void __rcu **radix_tree_lookup_slot(const struct radix_tree_root *root,
unsigned long index)
{ }

(we used to have a problem with multiple '*' in the return type, and
we've also had problems with adornments like __rcu)
