+ * Notifier chains are of three types:

+ * Atomic notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in interrupt/atomic
+ * context. Callouts are not allowed to block.
+ * Blocking notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in process context.
+ * Callouts are allowed to block.
+ * Raw notifier chains: There are no restrictions on callbacks,
+ * registration, or unregistration. All locking and protection
+ * must be provided by the caller.
+ *
+ * atomic_notifier_chain_register() may be called from an atomic context,
+ * but blocking_notifier_chain_register() must be called from a process
+ * context. Ditto for the corresponding _unregister() routines.
+ *
+ * atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() and blocking_notifier_chain_unregister()
+ * _must not_ be called from within the call chain.
