Thank you!  Hmmm, classic RCU, worked just fine in 2.6.27-rc7 with
Thomas's patch.  I was doing random onlines and offlines in a loop,
with about 3 seconds between each operation continuously for more than
ten hours, both x86 and Power.  So could you please try 2.6.27-rc7 with
Thomas's patch as follows?

Failing that, I guess my next step would be to create tracing for
classic RCU to help figure out what RCU believes is preventing the
grace period from ending.

						Thanx, Paul
