-	  Provide kernel entry/exit hooks necessary for userspace
-	  RCU extended quiescent state. Syscalls need to be wrapped inside
-	  rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() through the slow path using
-	  TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be wrapped as well. Irqs
-	  are already protected inside rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but
