Subject: [RELEASE] Userspace RCU 0.7.7

liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This
data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales
linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiples
copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by
monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after
which memory reclamation is possible.

liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and
lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues,
stacks, and doubly-linked lists.

        * Fix: Use a filled signal mask to disable all signals
        * Document: rculfhash destroy and resize side-effect in 0.7
        * Add "sparc" host cpu to configure.ac
        * Fix: tests/api.h use cpuset.h
        * Fix hurd-i386: move cpuset tests outside of sched_setaffinity
