I would like to post a new series for printk that will rely on the
NMI-safe reader API. From the feedback of this series it appears that
the RFC v2 is an acceptable starting point. How should we proceed?

Will Frederic be sending a patch for the extra safety checks using
srcu_nmi_flags? Are you planning on posting a new version? Should I
include this or another version within my upcoming series?

Thanks for all your help on this!

John
