okay.

I don't know. It is a "defconfig" for m32r. Unless it skipped that one,
dunno.

So this probably works. This is
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=rcu%2Fdev&id=a06f537e75ea0a9e81245ede1b97bb3a5762b81b&context=40&ignorews=0&dt=0

and the rtmutex_common is still in the ifdef which confused me at first.
But then you wrote "preparatory" and I saw the following patch
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=rcu/next&id=33d7471ce21202ce954993552c2e0298d9e0f031

where you move that include rtmutex_common.h. You shouldn't do that
because "rt_mutex_futex_unlock()" has been added added here for the
!BOOST + TREE case. So I thing this should break your build if you
disable CONFIG_FUTEX (which in turn unselects CONFIg_RT_MUTEX).
