+ *	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.
