Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/6] Documentation updates

Hello!

This series contains documentation updates:

1.	Fix documentation of relation between nohz_full and rcu_nocbs.

2.	General documentation update.

3.	Update memory-barriers.txt for read-to-write dependencies.

4.	Add RCU files to docbook-generation lists.

5.	Document the fact that we have long since no longer been allowed
	to use rcu_dereference() on non-pointers.

And yes, branching is back!  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
