Actually I've changed my mind on this.  I think your version is
better because the side-effect of rcu_dereference will cause the
above assignment to occur twice when i refers to a memory-backed
variable.

Since all current prefetch implementations are safe as far as
side-effects are concerned, here is an updated version that
doesn't do i = foo(i).

Andrew, please replace the previous version with this.

Thanks,
