+ * Template for creating a class to resort an existing rb_tree according to
+ * a new sort criteria, that must be present in the entries of the source
+ * rb_tree.
+ *
+ * (c) 2016 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
+ *
+ * Quick example, resorting threads by its shortname:
+ *
+ * First define the prefix (threads) to be used for the functions and data
+ * structures created, and provide an expression for the sorting, then the
+ * fields to be present in each of the entries in the new, sorted, rb_tree.
+ *
+ * The body of the init function should collect the fields, maybe
+ * pre-calculating them from multiple entries in the original 'entry' from
+ * the rb_tree used as a source for the entries to be sorted:
+
+DEFINE_RB_RESORT_RB(threads, strcmp(a->thread->shortname,
+ b->thread->shortname) < 0,
+ struct thread *thread;
+)
+{
+ entry->thread = rb_entry(nd, struct thread, rb_node);
+}
+
+ * After this it is just a matter of instantiating it and iterating it,
+ * for a few data structures with existing rb_trees, such as 'struct machine',
+ * helpers are available to get the rb_root and the nr_entries:
+
+ DECLARE_RESORT_RB_MACHINE_THREADS(threads, machine_ptr);
+
+ * This will instantiate the new rb_tree and a cursor for it, that can be used as:
+
+ struct rb_node *nd;
+
+ resort_rb__for_each(nd, threads) {
+ struct thread *t = threads_entry;
+ printf("%s: %d\n", t->shortname, t->tid);
+ }
+
+ * Then delete it:
+
+ resort_rb__delete(threads);
+
+ * The name of the data structures and functions will have a _sorted suffix
+ * right before the method names, i.e. will look like:
+ *
+ * struct threads_sorted_entry {}
+ * threads_sorted__insert()
