I think Srivatsa may need patch a3716d2e too:

commit a3716d2e5a50a9ed5268ae3d3c2f093968ff236a
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>
Date:   Thu Jun 21 09:54:10 2012 -0700

    rcu: Prevent offline CPUs from executing RCU core code
    
    Earlier versions of RCU invoked the RCU core from the CPU_DYING notifier
    in order to note a quiescent state for the outgoing CPU.  Because the
    CPU is marked "offline" during the execution of the CPU_DYING notifiers,
    the RCU core had to tolerate being invoked from an offline CPU.  However,
    commit b1420f1c (Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive) left only tracing
    code in the CPU_DYING notifier, so the RCU core need no longer execute
    on offline CPUs.  This commit therefore enforces this restriction.

With out it, the RCU_SOFTIRQ raised before offline won't
have a chance to return.
