Hello!

This series contains the following miscellaneous fixes:

1.	Provide GP ordering in face of migrations and delays.

2.	Fix up pending cbs check in rcu_prepare_for_idle(), courtesy
	of Neeraj Upadhyay.

3.	Create call_rcu_tasks() kthread at boot time.

4.	Map irq_work_on_queue() to irq_work_on() in !SMP.

5.	Add parameters to SRCU docbook comments.

6.	Make resched_cpu() unconditional.

7.	Pretend ->boost_mtx acquired legitimately for lockdep's benefit.

8.	Add extended-quiescent-state testing advice.

9.	Include rcupdate.h into kernel/rcu/segcblist, courtesy of
	Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.

							Thanx, Paul
