Subject: [PATCH RFC tools/lkmm 0/12] Reorganize RCU-related cat rules

Hello!

This patch series reorganizes RCU-related cat-file rules:

1.	Renames link and rcu-path to rcu-link and rb, respectively.
	This avoids unfortunate name collisions with "link" the rule and
	"link" the concept.  Courtesy of Alan Stern.

2.	Redefines "rb" in terms of rcu-fence, explicitly expressing
	the fence-like properties of RCU grace periods.  Courtesy of
	Alan Stern.

							Thanx, Paul
