Uhm..
$ grep PREEMPT /home/src/md-x86-64/.config
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set
$ grep DEBUG_SPIN /home/src/md-x86-64/.config
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP=y
$ grep RCU /home/src/md-x86-64/.config
CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU=y
# CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST is not set

This definitely doesn't report an error if I put "might_sleep" inside 
rcu_read_lock.  I tried to figure out why but got lost.

BTW, I need the following to get current -git to compile.
