[GIT PULL] RCU fixes

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

Linus,

Please pull the latest core-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git core-urgent-for-linus

This is mainly the (functional) revert to softirqs, with no kthreads 
left. I'm sending this now after just one day of testing thinking 
that we'd probably want this in -rc4.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
