Considering it's used a number of times, it would be better to just
figure out a sensible manner to pre-allocate this, especially if it's
only a single occurrence to an individual ring held under a lock.

Not sure how the above should actually look without actually doing it,
but IMHO the usage of macro just obfuscates what is going on..
If it's only used a few times, just inline the code into seperate static
functions. If it's used more than a few times, then use a single static
funciton with macro accessors for the assignment of the various '__wr'
structure members.
The larger problem with all of these macros is that you can't tell what
is a macro and what is a function.
If you need to use a CPP macro, please make sure to capitalize the name
of the macro in order to tell the difference between the two.
