Hi,
This is a respin of the series that optimize full dynticks off-case with
static keys. It seems that some distros are interested in full dynticks so we
need to optimize the off case such that unconcerned users are not impacted
by performance regressions.
Thanks to Steve for his reviews on the previous version! I hope the
changelogs and comments are better in this version.

Changes since last posting:
* Rebase against 3.11-rc2
* Dropped because merged in -tip through urgent queue:
nohz: Do not warn about unstable tsc unless user uses nohz_full
nohz: fix compile warning in tick_nohz_init()
Reported by Steve:
* Fix confusing comments in [03/21]
* Fix confusing changelog [05/21]
* Split [05/21] with new patch to enhance CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
Kconfig help text, see [06/21]
Bugfixes:
* Fix missing exported symbol, clarify changes by seperating guest APIs
optimization in a seperate patch [09/21]
Further:
* Use static keys on full dynticks APIs [19-21/21]
