Thank you, happy to steal pieces of that with attribution.  ;-)

My current plan says that if you have an atomic SRCU on which you
use srcu_read_lock_atomic() and srcu_read_unlock_atomic(), you only
ever get to use synchronize_srcu_atomic(), never synchronize_srcu(),
synchronize_srcu_expedited(), or call_srcu().  Does that work for you?

No objections, but one thing at a time.
