Andrew, Please include this patchset for some testing in -mm.
This patchset consists of various merge candidates that would do well to have some testing in -mm. This patchset breaks out RCU implementation from its APIs to allow multiple implementations, gives RCU its own softirq and finally lines up preemptible RCU from -rt tree as a configurable RCU implementation for mainline. Published earlier and re-diffed against -mm. One major change since the last time is that this has a new implementation of preemptible RCU from Paul which fixes the problem with watchdog NMI. For details - http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/13/259 They have been tested lightly using combinations of dbench, kernbench and ltp (both CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU=y and CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=y) on x86_64 and ppc64. Also ran rcutorture successfully on my x86_64 box with both RCU implementations.
