(this series is based on Alice's RFC [1] and discussion around Philipp's
patches [2], [3])
As an easy way to provide RCU-protected allocation, two major types are
provided:
- `RcuBox<T, A>`, inner T will be dropped and after a grace period.
Users: binder with maple_tree and dma_fence.
- `RcuFreeBox<T, A>`, inner T will be cleaned up immmediately and freed
after a grace period. (Name suggestion is welcome). This is an attempt
to consolidate Alice's `PollCondVarBox` [4] into a generic
implementation, InPlaceInit support is still missing, but I want to
get some feedback on the trait `RcuFreeSafe`.
