Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/7] CPU hotplug changes for 3.8

Hello!

This patch series provides further updates to RCU's interaction with
CPU hotplug.  The individual patches are as follows:

1.	Fix an obsolete comment describing ->onofflock.
2.	Make rcutorture print the errno from cpu_down() failure if
	the "verbose" module parameter is specified.
3.	Make _cpu_down() use stop_cpus() instead of __stop_machine().
4.	Rename ->onofflock to ->orphan_lock to correctly indicate this
	lock's current scope.
5.	Avoid counter wrap in synchronize_sched_expedited().
6.	Move synchronize_sched_expedited() from global variables to
	the rcu_state structure.
7.	Instrument synchronize_rcu_expedited() for debugfs tracing.

							Thanx, Paul
