  4  * Reader/writer consistent mechanism without starving writers. This type of
  5  * lock for data where the reader wants a consistent set of information
  6  * and is willing to retry if the information changes.  Readers never
  7  * block but they may have to retry if a writer is in
  8  * progress. Writers do not wait for readers. 
  9  *
 10  * This is not as cache friendly as brlock. Also, this will not work
 11  * for data that contains pointers, because any writer could
 12  * invalidate a pointer that a reader was following.
 13  *
 14  * Expected reader usage:
 15  *      do {
 16  *          seq = read_seqbegin(&foo);
 17  *      ...
 18  *      } while (read_seqretry(&foo, seq));
 19  *
 20  *
 21  * On non-SMP the spin locks disappear but the writer still needs
 22  * to increment the sequence variables because an interrupt routine could
 23  * change the state of the data.
 24  *
 25  * Based on x86_64 vsyscall gettimeofday 
 26  * by Keith Owens and Andrea Arcangeli
