[PATCH] Introduce rculist.h

[PATCH] Introduce rculist.h

[Stephen Rothwell]

In linux-next there is a commit ("rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected
lists into rculist.h") that moved the rcu related list iterators from
list.h to rculist.h.  Add a trivial version of the file now so that
various subsystem trees can start using it now for -next changes and so
reduce the build errors caused by adding uses of the moved functions.

Linus, would you consider patches like this for 2.6.26 that have no
effect on the current tree but help with conflicts in various subsystems
during the next merge window?  I already have three build fixups for this
one in particular.
