2 things to consider:

1) Is it this about specific calls to synchronize_rcu() that repeat a lot
   and thus create such measurable impact? If so the specific callsites should
   be considered for a conversion.

2) Is it about lots of different calls to synchronize_rcu() that gather a big
   noise? Then the solution is different.

Again without proper analysis, what do we know?

Thanks.
