I mean the part where Matthew is going and splitting the types and
making it much clearer and type safe how the memory is layed out. eg
no more guessing if the arch code is overlaying something else onto
the rcu_head.

Then the hope against hope is that after doing all this we can find
enough space for everything including the rcu heads..
