The series looks clean, I'm happy for it to be applied as is.
But I'm curious whether similar helper organization as with the BPF
code would work. By which I mean - instead of read / write helpers
for each member can we not have one helper which returns the struct?
It would be a per-CPU struct on !RT and pointer from current on RT.
Does it change the generated code? Or stripping the __percpu annotation
is a PITA?
