  rcu: Move end of special early-boot RCU operation earlier
  rcu: Changes from reviews: avoid casts, fix/add warnings, improve comments
  rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees
  rcu: Remove lockdep annotations from RCU's _notrace() API members
  rcu: Add #ifdef to suppress __rcu_offline_cpu() warning in !HOTPLUG_CPU builds
  rcu: Add CPU-offline processing for single-node configurations
  rcu: Add "notrace" to RCU function headers used by ftrace
  rcu: Remove CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
  rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
  rcu: Simplify rcu_pending()/rcu_check_callbacks() API
  rcu: Use debugfs_remove_recursive() simplify code.
  rcu: Merge per-RCU-flavor initialization into pre-existing macro
  rcu: Fix online/offline indication for rcudata.csv trace file
  rcu: Consolidate sparse and lockdep declarations in include/linux/rcupdate.h
  rcu: Renamings to increase RCU clarity
  rcu: Move private definitions from include/linux/rcutree.h to kernel/rcutree.h
  rcu: Expunge lingering references to CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU, optimize on !SMP
  rcu: Delay rcu_barrier() wait until beginning of next CPU-hotunplug operation.
  rcu: Fix typo in rcu_irq_exit() comment header
  rcu: Make rcupreempt_trace.c look at offline CPUs
