While I understand why you did this, and it does save us the "__rcu"
usage which is essencial, it still makes me feel dirty seeing it :)

Also, as the __rcu pointer is now "hidden", what is that going to mean
for sparse usage?  Will this accidentally trigger problems if we do
anything with the pointer incorrectly?
