Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/2] SRCU changes for 3.11

Hello!

This series provides some SRCU changes:

1.	Remove srcu_read_lock_raw() and srcu_read_unlock_raw().  These
	never did get used, and have not been used for some time, so
	it is time for them to go.

2.	Fix a bug where srcu_read_lock() is not released upon return
	from kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma().

							Thanx, Paul
