Very good, and thank you very much for all your testing efforts!

I have added a ten-microsecond delay to __rcu_read_unlock() under a
new CONFIG_RCU_PROVE_DELAY, and have added this to my testing regimen.
And I guess I have also added it in a probabilistic manner to the various
randconfig testing out there. ;-)

Or will have when it hits mainline, probably 3.7.

Thanx, Paul
