Hopefully nobody puts a printk into call_rcu now...
Also I'm not sure if there wouldn't be livelocks if someone puts
printk into some other parts of RCU (e.g. each RCU adding more
RCU events -- haven't checked that in detail so I might be wrong)
So you just trade one "hands off" part to another.

How about a big comment describing why you do this?
And you should add comments to all the new hands-off parts
where printk is not allowed now.
