My next step is to forward-port to 4.4-rc2, retest, and expose to -next.
The base is on top of the series that was pulled into the 4.4 merge window,
but on their base on top of 3.4-rc4.

I probably should have forward-ported before submitting, but I was so
happy about it finally actually passing a moderate version of the full
set of rcutorture tests that I just couldn't restrain myself.
