So, if I composed things right, we end up with this. Comments below.

Lets see if I can understand this.

 - we seqcount wrap online/offline, such that they're odd while
   in-progress. Full memory barriers, such that, unlike with regular
   seqcount, it also orders later reads, important?

 - when odd, we ensure it is seen as online; notable detail seems to be
   that this function is expected to be called in PO relative to the
   seqcount ops. It is unsafe concurrently. This seems sufficient for
   our goals today.

 - when odd, we delay the current gp.


It is that last point where I think I'd like to suggest change. Given
that both rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() (the naming is
slightly inconsistent) are ran with IRQs disabled, spin-waiting seems
like a more natural match.

Also, I don't see the purpose of your smp_load_acquire(), you don't
actually do anything before then calling a full smp_mb().
