Ah, good point...

My intent was to merge as soon as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/5/201
was responded to.  The question should not have blocked merging, so I
should have followed up, but the again, so should have you.  ;-)

I queued the patches, and if testing goes well, will push them to -tip
in a few days.

The remaining issue for invoking srcu_read_lock() from offline CPUs is
that lockdep does tracing that uses RCU.  So your patch 4/8 is incomplete,
though a good step towards allowing SRCU to be invoked from offline CPUs.
Thoughts on getting the rest of the way there?

							Thanx, Paul
