call_rcu() has the problem of rate limiting, too.  It wasn't such a
great idea, I think.

The QRCU I linked would work great latency-wise (it has roughly the same
latency of an rwsem but readers are lock-free).  However, the locked
operations in the read path would hurt because of cache misses, so it's
not good either.
