+/***
+RCUPtr<T>
+
+Make a RCU protected pointer.
+
+Reader of this pointer should call quiescent() after read done.
+
+Writer of this pointer should use update(T*) to make object update, then
+* use `synchronize(domain)` to wait all readers finished reading old object then
+delete it, or
+* use `rcu_call(old)` to create a standalone photon thread waiting others finish
+reading then clear it.
+
+CAUTION: RCUPtr is a mechanism to protect high concurrent read with a little
+write. This implemention is based on userspace qsbr RCU, but basic interface
+likes kernel RCU, but with a few limitations. Photon thread will be take as
+Reader and Writer instead of system thread.
+
+If you dont know how to use it, or not sure if you need it, just ignore it.
