Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/16] rcu: Let the world know when RCU adjusts its geometry

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Some RCU bugs have been specific to the layout of the rcu_node tree,
but RCU will silently adjust the tree at boot time if appropriate.
This obscures valuable debugging information, so print a message when
this happens.
