I figured on maintaining a separate rcu/idle topic branch that I would
merge locally for building and testing, but which I would not push
to rcu/next. If Ingo agrees, I can push separately to -tip so that it
does not go upstream until you are ready, at which point I would merge
it into rcu/next.

Seem reasonable, or would something else work better?
