Thank you, Frederic, I have queued these:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git rcu/idle

I had to rework patch 4 a bit to take into account that I dropped the
rcu_switch_from() patch, please check it to make sure that I didn't
rework it out of existence.

Thanx, Paul
