Hello!

This series updates RCU's handling of per-CPU variables, mostly
moving from "cpu" function arguments to various "this_"-style accessors
for per-CPU variables:

1.	Drop the rdtp argument from RCU's dyntick-idle and sysidle
	functions, substituting this_cpu_ptr(), courtesy of Christoph
	Lameter.

2.	Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for rcu_data structures in
	order to avoid false sharing with other per-CPU variables.

3-9.	Remove "cpu" arguments from a number of RCU functions that are
	only ever invoked on that CPU, and use appropriate "this_"-style
	accesssors for the per-CPU variables.

							Thanx, Paul
