I have one last question -- is there possibly an edge case in which
the hard lockup
can still happen? How likely is it for many writers to force enough
readers to do a
retry on the seqlock, disabling irq and causing the lockup? Is this
not a concern
because there aren't many writers?

Thanks,
Dylan
