Subject: [PATCH tip/core/urgent] no-CB CPU changes for 3.8

Hello!

This patch series contains a couple of fixes to the no-CBs CPU feature,
both courtesy of Paul Gortmaker:

1.	Prevent soft-lockup complaints from no-CBs kthreads.
2.	Make rcu_nocb_poll and early_param instead of a module parameter.

There is probably at least one more fix in this area.

							Thanx, Paul
