Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/5] Documentation and rcutorture changes

Hello!

This series covers changes to rcutorture and documentation updates.
The individual patches in this series are as follows:

1.	Update rcutorture default values so that casual rcutorture
	users will do more aggressive testing.
2.	Make rcutorture track CPU-hotplug latency statistics.
3.	Document SRCU's new-found ability to be used by offline and
	idle CPUs, and also emphasize SRCU's limitations.
4.	Use the new pr_*() interfaces in rcutorture.
5.	Prevent kthread-initialization races in rcutorture.

							Thanx, Paul
