Hello, Ingo,

Could you please pull one more commit?  This is an update to Frederic
Weisbecker's context-tracking subsystem that is another stepping stone
towards adaptive-idle and tickless userspace execution.  This has been
subjected to -next testing.  It does give two checkpatch.pl errors,
but these are on cpp macro definitions used within assembly code -- and
following checkpatch.pl's suggestions would result in assembler errors.
(I have reported this to Andy Whitcroft, checkpatch.pl's maintainer.)

These changes are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git rcu/next

							Thanx, Paul

Pulled it and pushed it out earlier this week.

One issue I wanted to raise on a bit wider forum was the 
introduction of the (small) kernel/context_tracking.c subsystem.

It makes sense to me, but I've Cc:-ed Linus and Andrew, in case 
they have a different opinion.

Thanks,

	Ingo

And it does appear that Frederic and I have a bit more explaining to do.  ;-)

Right :-)

Andrew strongly suggested us to give some more description of that
thing and the role and semantics of the new APIs. I indeed overlooked
that part. I'll send a patch soon.
