Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] Additional RCU commits for 3.3

Hello, Ingo,

Further -next and other testing uncovered one upcoming change and some
build warnings.  The three commits below address these.  I am putting
them forward for 3.3, but of course if the risk of change exceeds the
magnitude of the problems, I can keep them queued for 3.4.  These are
all quite small, have been exposed to -next testing, and I retested them
against current tip/master.

The specific changes are as follows:

1.	Change rcutorture's module parameters of type int to instead
	be bool.  This is in preparation for Rusty's patch that makes
	type-int module parameters illegal.  (Courtesy of Rusty Russell.)

2.	Add "const" to the new is_idle_task()'s argument, which
	addresses a build warning located by Stephen Rothwell.

3.	Add __cpuinit to rcu_torture_onoff() to address a section
	mismatch build warning.  (Courtesy of Heiko Carstens.)

These changes are based off of 3.2-rc7 and are available in the git
repository at:

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

							Thanx, Paul
