Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 0/12] preview of RCU patches for 2.6.38

Hello!

This patchset contains RCU priority boosting for the tiny RCU
implementations and a number of fixes and cleanups.  The patches
are as follows:

1.	Add rcutorture tests to check for boosting.
2-6.	RCU priority boosting for the tiny RCU implementations.
7.	Fix a few naming holdouts from old Classic RCU.
8.	Move synchronize_sched_expedited() out of sched.c
	(from Lai Jiangshan).
9.	Simplify the RCU callback orphan/adopt code for CPU hotplug
	(from Lai Jiangshan).
10.	Update RCU tracing documentation to reflect patch #9.
11.	Fix a race condition in synchronize_sched_expedited(),
	but Tejun Heo has suggested another approach that might
	be better longer term.
12.	Make synchronize_srcu_expedited() spin for a bit to avoid
	blocking -- again, there may be a better long-term fix.

For a testing-only version of this patchset from git, please see:

							Thanx, Paul
