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