Subject: [PATCH tip/core/urgent 0/2] RCU lockdep fix and shrink RCU API

Hello!

This set has two patches, one from Lai Jiangshan that fixes RCU lockdep's
rcu_read_lock_sched_held() to correctly interpret things like
local_irq_disable() as starting a valid RCU-sched read-side critical
section, and one from Alexey Dobriyan that removes several useless
members of the RCU API.

							Thanx, Paul
