I thought you believed that RCU was antifragile, in that it would scale
better as it was used more heavily?

Would it make sense to have call_rcu() check to see if there are many
outstanding requests on this CPU and if so process them before returning?
That would ensure that frequent callers usually ended up doing their
own processing.
