Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/6] v2 RCU fixes for 3.11

1-2.	Convert remaining printk() calls to pr_*().

3.	Remove "Experimental" flags from old RCU Kconfig options.

4.	Automatically tune defaults for delays between attempts to
	force quiescent states.

5.	Merge adjacent identical #ifdefs.

6.	Apply Dave Jones's NOCB Kconfig help feedback.

Changes since v2:

o	Adaptive-ticks-CPU-kick patch dropped from this series and
	added to Frederic Weisbecker's adaptive-ticks patchset.

o	Patch to avoid allocating bootmem from rcu_init() was applied
	to 3.10 due to the number of people running into the corresponding
	splat.

o	Changed force-quiescent-state delay computation to use impulse
	functions, as suggested by Josh Triplett.

o	Added Dave Jones's NOCB Kconfig help patch.

							Thanx, Paul
