Yes, I thought about this and probably I'll send the patch...

But note that the regular down_read() won't be actually faster if
there is no writer, and it doesn't allow to add other features.

I'll try to think, perhaps it would be enough to add a couple of
"ifdef CONFIG_SMP" into this code, say, to avoid __percpu.
