Nice!

I have queued this for RCU 2.6.35, with the following commit message:

	Shrink the RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() macro by moving all but the
	initialization of the ->rda[] array to rcu_init_one().
	The call to rcu_init_one() can then be moved to the end
	of the RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() macro, which is required because
	rcu_boot_init_percpu_data(), which is now called from
	rcu_init_one(), depends on the initialization of the ->rda[]
	array.

Seem reasonable?

							Thanx, Paul
