Hello!

This series contains miscellaneous fixes for 3.20:

1.	Make rcu_nmi_enter() handle nesting, as there are now some
	architectures that use RCU read-side critical sections in
	NMI-like constructs that can nest in one another.  Algorithm
	courtesy of Andy Lutomirski.

2.	Remove redundant rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() from tiny RCU,
	courtesy of Alexander Gordeev.

3.	Fix invoke_rcu_callbacks() comment to correctly reflect
	required calling environment.

4.	Allow 1- and 2-byte smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release(),
	given that the C11 standard requires that compilers support this.

5.	Replace smp_read_barrier_depends() with lockless_dereference(),
	courtesy of Pranith Kumar.

6.	Directly force QS when call_rcu_[bh|sched]() on idle_task for
	tiny RCU, courtesy of Lai Jiangshan.  Saves more than 1KB.

7.	Fix sparse warning from hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(),
	courtesy of Ying Xue.

8.	Fix hang in CPU hotplug code, courtesy of David Hildenbrand.

9.	Fix rcu_barrier() race that could result in too-short wait.

10.	Remove obsolete "select IRQ_WORK" from config TREE_RCU, courtesy
	of Lai Jiangshan.

							Thanx, Paul
