Gah!!!  I forgot to label the RCU-lockdep stuff "RFC"!!!  Could you
please rewind tip/core/rcu back to b6407e8639 ("rcu: Give different
levels of the rcu_node hierarchy distinct lockdep names")?

I have fixes for many of the warnings below, both as modifications to
uses of RCU and as modifications to the check code itself.  But I have
been building a new patchsets rather than keeping patches on top of this
patchset.  I also have modifications in the works to ease transition,
for example, but having a separate CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.

Please accept my apologies for the mislabeling!!!

							Thanx, Paul
