Well, they should, else we'll piss off people who use valgrind :/

We already do something like this with:

urcu-bp.c:

void __attribute__((destructor)) rcu_bp_exit(void);

But of course, the order of destructors might become important if these
destructors use RCU. I guess for now we could just document that using urcu-bp
and call rcu from destructors is forbidden ?

Another alternative is to use

__attribute__((destructor(priority))), where "priority" is:

"You may provide an optional integer priority to control the order in which
constructor and destructor functions are run. A constructor with a smaller
priority number runs before a constructor with a larger priority number; the
opposite relationship holds for destructors. So, if you have a constructor that
allocates a resource and a destructor that deallocates the same resource, both
functions typically have the same priority. The priorities for constructor and
destructor functions are the same as those specified for namespace-scope C++
objects (see C++ Attributes)."

So we might need, e.g., a

#define URCU_CONSTRUCTOR_DESTRUCTOR_PRIO        5

so applications expecting to use RCU in their constructors/descructors would use
the appropriate (higher number) priority.

Nah, I don't want the get_call_rcu_data() to have to deal with this kind of
annoying non-fatal error: get_call_rcu_data() should always work succeed, no ?
Doing a macro that defines a static int once; and decrements it when printing
the error should be fine.
