Hmmm.... This is interesting. KVM being a module, we either expand
TINY_RCU's size a bit by making rcu_note_context_switch() be a real
function in rcutiny.c and adding an export, or we expand it by adding
two exports.
I would like to solve this without making TINY_RCU larger, and preferably
by making it smaller. Any ideas come to mind? (Other than making
KVM depend on CONFIG_SMP, which sounds too much like throwing out the
baby with the bathwater.)
Thanx, Paul
