Ingo,

Please pull the printk support in dynticks mode patches that can
be found at:

  printk: Wake up klogd using irq_work (2012-11-18 01:01:49 +0100)

It is based on v3.7-rc4.

Changes since previous pull request include support for irq work flush
on CPU offlining and acks from Steve. The rest hasn't changed except some
comment fix.

Thanks.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Support for printk in dynticks mode:

* Fix two races in irq work claiming

* Generalize irq_work support to all archs

* Don't stop tick with irq works pending. This
fix is generally useful and concerns archs that
can't raise self IPIs.

* Flush irq works before CPU offlining.

* Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the
next tick to be executed, unless it's stopped.

* Implement klogd wake up using irq work. This
removes the ad-hoc printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu()
hooks and make it working even in dynticks mode.
