- markers-use-rcu_barrier_sched-and-call_rcu_sched.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     markers: use rcu_barrier_sched() and call_rcu_sched()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     markers-use-rcu_barrier_sched-and-call_rcu_sched.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: markers: use rcu_barrier_sched() and call_rcu_sched()
From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>

rcu_barrier_sched() and call_rcu_sched() were introduced in 2.6.26 for the
Markers.  Change the marker code to use them.

It can be seen as a fix since the marker code was using an ugly,
temporary, #ifdef hack to work around CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU.
