I have just a couple of overall comments. - It would be nice if the document were done in RST and placed in the core-API manual, perhaps using kerneldoc comments for the macros themselves. It's already 99.9% RST now, so the changes required would be minimal. - More importantly: is there any way at all to give guidance to developers wondering *when* they should use these primitives? I think it would be easy to create a situation where they don't get used where they are really needed; meanwhile, there may well be a flood of "helpful" patches adding them where they make no sense at all.
