Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/12] Miscellaneous fixes for 3.15

Hello!

This series provides miscellaneous fixes;

1.	Add ACCESS_ONCE() to uses of ->n_force_qs_lh.

2.	Stop tracking FSF's postal address.

3.	Remove ACCESS_ONCE() from the volatile-declared jiffies.

4.	Glue ASCII strings together, courtesy of Joe Perches.

5.	Indentation and spacing fixes, courtesy of Joe Perches.

6.	Define rcu_assign_pointer() in terms of Peter Zijlstra's shiny
	new smp_store_release().

7.	Disambiguate CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPUs, courtesy of Paul Bolle.

8.	Move SRCU work to power-efficient workqueue, courtesy of
	Shaibal Dutta.

9-12.	Downgrade rcu_dereference_raw() to rcu_access_pointer() in
	cases where there is no subsequent dereferencing.

							Thanx, Paul
