I took rwonce.h (implementing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()) as an
inspiration for the file name. I'm open to change it to whatever
people think best. I have no strong preference for either ptreq.h
or ptr_eq.h. I'll let people chime in before respinning an updated
series if a file name change is needed.

Thanks!
