Hello!

This series contains the RCU flavor consolidation, along with some initial
cleanup work enabled by that consolidation (and some that became apparent
while cleaning up):

1.	Refactor rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}(), saving a branch on the
	idle entry/exit hotpaths, courtesy of Byungchul Park,

2.	Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled.
	This is the key commit that consolidates the RCU-bh and RCU-sched
	flavors into RCU, however, the RCU-bh and RCU-sched flavors
	still exist independently as well at this point.

3.	Test extended "rcu" read-side critical sections.  This commit
	causes rcutorture to test RCU's new-found ability to act as
	the combination of RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched.

4.	Allow processing deferred QSes for exiting RCU-preempt readers.
	This is a optimization.

5.	Remove now-unused ->b.exp_need_qs field from the rcu_special union.

6.	Add warning to detect half-interrupts.  Test the claim that
	the Linux kernel no longer does half-interrupts.

7.	Apply RCU-bh QSes to RCU-sched and RCU-preempt when safe, that is,
	make the consolidated RCU inherit RCU-bh's denial-of-service
	avoidance mechanism.

8.	Report expedited grace periods at context-switch time.  This is
	an optimization enabled by the RCU flavor consolidation.

9.	Define RCU-bh update API in terms of RCU.  This commit gets rid
	of the RCU-bh update mechanism.

10.	Update comments and help text to account for the removal of
	the RCU-bh update mechanism.

11.	Drop "wake" parameter from rcu_report_exp_rdp().

12.	Fix typo in rcu_get_gp_kthreads_prio() header comment.

13.	Define RCU-sched API in terms of RCU for Tree RCU PREEMPT builds.
	Although this commit gets rid of the RCU-sched update mechanism
	from PREEMPT builds, it of course remains as the sole RCU flavor
	for !PREEMPT && !SMP builds.

14.	Express Tiny RCU updates in terms of RCU rather than RCU-sched.
	This will enable additional cleanups and code savings.

15.	Remove RCU_STATE_INITIALIZER() in favor of just using an open-coded
	initializer for the sole remaining rcu_state structure.

16.	Eliminate rcu_state structure's ->call field, as it is now always
	just call_rcu().

17.	Remove rcu_state structure's ->rda field, as there is now only one
	set of per-CPU rcu_data structures.

							Thanx, Paul
