I have queued both of these for testing and review:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git
f54cf5123eb9 ("membarrier: Speed up single-threaded private cmd")
0d6eb99818da ("membarrier: Provide register sync core cmd")
Could the people who asked for this please test it? The second commit
is non-obvious enough to need some careful review and intensive testing
before I can in good conscious pass it upstream.
Thanx, Paul
