  rcu: Avoid acquiring rcu_node locks in timer functions
  atomic: Add atomic_or()
  Documentation: Add statistics about nested locks
  rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof
  rcu: Make rcu_enter_nohz() pay attention to nesting
  rcu: Don't do reschedule unless in irq
  rcu: Remove old memory barriers from rcu_process_callbacks()
  rcu: Add memory barriers
  rcu: Fix unpaired rcu_irq_enter() from locking selftests
