Dug deeper, got more answers, but also more questions: rcupdate.h is heavily 
conditional on PREEMPT causing __rcu_read_lock/unlock to be extern rather than 
inline.
However, this leaves the most fundamental question of all: why are some 
functions OK to call from non-GPL code but others not? should these functions 
be marked as OK to call?
