  • Grant Grundler was asking for more detail about correct usage of local
    atomic operations and suggested adding the resulting summary to
    local_ops.txt.

    "Please add a bit more detail. If DaveM is correct (he normally is), then
    there must be limits on how the local_t can be used in the kernel process
    and interrupt contexts. I'd like those rules spelled out very clearly
    since it's easy to get wrong and tracking down such a bug is quite painful."
