Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/6] rcutorture and documentation patches for 3.6

Hello!

This patch series updates documentation and rcutorture:

1.	Update documentation to allow for the new call_srcu() and
	srcu_barrier() functions.
2.	Fix ordering of the torture_ops list.
3.	Make rcutorture actually test the new srcu_barrier() function.
4.	Fix synchronization of the kthreads testing the various
	rcu_barrier() functions.
5.	Fix an incorrect (and quite confusing) message in rcutorture.
6.	Make rcutorture's fakewriters occasionally invoke the appropriate
	rcu_barrier() function so that we test concurrent rcu_barrier()
	calls.

							Thanx, Paul
