  5  *      needed them so here they are for the rest of you.

 18  * Notifier chains are of four types:
 19  *
 20  *      Atomic notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in interrupt/atomic
 21  *              context. Callouts are not allowed to block.
 22  *      Blocking notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in process context.
 23  *              Callouts are allowed to block.
 24  *      Raw notifier chains: There are no restrictions on callbacks,
 25  *              registration, or unregistration.  All locking and protection
 26  *              must be provided by the caller.
 27  *      SRCU notifier chains: A variant of blocking notifier chains, with
 28  *              the same restrictions.
 29  *
 30  * atomic_notifier_chain_register() may be called from an atomic context,
 31  * but blocking_notifier_chain_register() and srcu_notifier_chain_register()
 32  * must be called from a process context.  Ditto for the corresponding
 33  * _unregister() routines.
 34  *
 35  * atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), blocking_notifier_chain_unregister(),
 36  * and srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() _must not_ be called from within
 37  * the call chain.
 38  *
 39  * SRCU notifier chains are an alternative form of blocking notifier chains.
 40  * They use SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) instead of rw-semaphores for
 41  * protection of the chain links.  This means there is _very_ low overhead
 42  * in srcu_notifier_call_chain(): no cache bounces and no memory barriers.
 43  * As compensation, srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() is rather expensive.
 44  * SRCU notifier chains should be used when the chain will be called very
 45  * often but notifier_blocks will seldom be removed.  Also, SRCU notifier
 46  * chains are slightly more difficult to use because they require special
 47  * runtime initialization.
