Minor comment --- I don't believe in having a separate "sprinkle" of
notify-specific checks. It needs to be set up so that
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS will deal with the catch-up-please signal. We've
already done (most of) the work of making sure CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS is
called often enough, and AFAICS we'd end up needing
CHECK_FOR_NOTIFICATIONS in exactly those same loops anyway.
It definitely helps here that CHECK_FOR_NOTIFICATIONS need affect only
localized state of a particular subsystem that nothing else depends on.
I've been wishing we could handle SI inval at more places than we do
now, but that seems a lot harder :-(
