Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/10] Documentation updates for 4.7

Hello!

This series contains RCU documentation updates:

1.	Fix sample code in whatisRCU.txt, courtesy of Yao Dongdong.

2.	Add real-time requirements for CPU-bound workloads.

3.	Add synchronize_rcu_mult() to the requirements.

4.	Explain why rcu_read_lock() needs no barrier().

5.	Document illegality of call_rcu() from offline CPUs.

6.	Remove unnecessary images from requirements.

7.	Get rid of duplicate .htmlx file.

8.	Sharpen up the no-readers quick quiz.

9.	Emphasize the call_rcu() is illegal from idle.

10.	Add documentation for RCU's major data structures.

							Thanx, Paul
