OK.

However, I think ___ is a little confusing (but I'm easily confused :x).
I didn't even realize some functions in wfcqueue.h had ___ (vs __) until
just now(!)

But I will resend later tonight/tomorrow with ___ for consistency with
the existing API unless I've convinced you "_local" is easier :)

On a related note to underscores, I totally missed the existence of
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp in my first RFC even though I had seen
the __ version for .data around.
