Subject: [GIT PULL rcu/next] rcu commits for 2.6.38

Hello, Ingo,

This pull request covers RCU changes for 2.6.38.  These include RCU
priority boosting for TINY_RCU and TINY_PREEMPT_RCU, some cleanups from
Lai Jiangshan, fixes to synchronize_sched_expedited() including some
from Tejun Heo, some nohz fixes from Frederic Weisbecker, some changes
to reduce lock contention for internal-to-RCU locks, and a fix from
Mariusz Kozlowski to fix unbalanced parentheses.

These changes are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-2.6-rcu.git rcu/next
