No.
The thing what I need is just as same as Oleg Nesterov implemented.
It is just a structure with several function pointers for different RCU variants.
But it would be better if we implement in rcupdate.[ch],
and name it to struct rcu_flavor like the URCU.

After we have struct rcu_flavor, we can replace the following code
to a pointer to struct rcu_flavor.

struct rcu_state:
	void (*call)(struct rcu_head *head,	/* call_rcu() flavor. */
		     void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head));

struct rcu_torture_ops {
	int (*readlock)(void);
	void (*readunlock)(int idx);
	void (*sync)(void);
	void (*exp_sync)(void);
	void (*call)(struct rcu_head *head, void (*func)(struct rcu_head *rcu));
	void (*cb_barrier)(void);
};

and struct rcu_sync {
	...
};


Thanks,
Lai.

I mean we need something like struct rcu_flavor as the URCU.
