We don't really need the "__" prefix here.

But now we might have a way.
If the value in ->func is too small to be a valid function, RCU invokes
a fixed function name. This function can then look at ->func and do
whatever it wants, for example, maintaining an array indexed by the
->func value that says what function to call and what else to pass it,
including for example the slab pointer and offset.
Thoughts?
