 Usage of liburcu-defer
 
-       * #include <urcu-defer.h>
-       * Link with "-lurcu-defer", and also with one of the urcu library
-         (either urcu, urcu-bp, urcu-mb or urcu-qsbr).
+       * Follow instructions for either liburcu, liburcu-qsbr,
+         liburcu-mb, liburcu-signal, or liburcu-bp above.
+         The liburcu-defer functionality is pulled into each of
+         those library modules.
        * Provides defer_rcu() primitive to enqueue delayed callbacks. Queued
          callbacks are executed in batch periodically after a grace period.
          Do _not_ use defer_rcu() within a read-side critical section, because
          it may call synchronize_rcu() if the thread queue is full.
-       * Provides defer_rcu_ratelimit() primitive, which acts just like
-         defer_rcu(), but takes an additional rate limiter callback forcing
-         synchronized callback execution of the limiter returns non-zero.
+         This can lead to deadlock or worse.
        * Requires that rcu_defer_barrier() must be called in library destructor
          if a library queues callbacks and is expected to be unloaded with
          dlclose().
