Peter, I reverted the portion of this commit that removes the
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick_protected() function.  Please let me know if
you instead convince the Xen people to stop using it.

Huh.  "It has been building fine for me."  I added

	#include <uapi/asm-generic/types.h>
	#include <asm-generic/atomic-long.h>

to include/linux/rcu_segcblist.h, which hopefully fixes it at your end.
I will push this after testing and rearrangement at this end.

							Thanx, Paul
