-What:   RCU API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
-When:   April 2006
-Files:  include/linux/rcupdate.h, kernel/rcupdate.c
-Why:    Outside of Linux, the only implementations of anything even
-        vaguely resembling RCU that I am aware of are in DYNIX/ptx,
-        VM/XA, Tornado, and K42.  I do not expect anyone to port binary
-        drivers or kernel modules from any of these, since the first two
-        are owned by IBM and the last two are open-source research OSes.
-        So these will move to GPL after a grace period to allow
-        people, who might be using implementations that I am not aware
-        of, to adjust to this upcoming change.
