Cool!!!  Note that there is no need for expediting TINY_RCU because
its grace periods are already maximally expedited.  There is only one
CPU, so if you are following the rules, when you call synchronize_rcu(),
by definition there is a zero-length grace period.  ;-)

So all you need is rcutree.c.

Looking forward to the section-mismatch-free version!

							Thanx, Paul
