Paul,

FYI, we noticed the below changes on

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git next.2014.04.16b
commit 10a94227ba229f1b05672754dc318a8fe7982c95 ("rcu: Update cpu_needs_another_gp() for futures from non-NOCB CPUs")

test case: nhm4/micro/will-it-scale/lseek1

It does effectively eliminate interrupts.IWI:

                                   interrupts.IWI
