Very good!  I have queued these and pushed them to -rcu on github
(https://github.com/paulmckrcu/linux) branch rcu/dynticks.

Some of the Power boxes are now back in the land of the living, and
will hopefully work their way through their testing backlogs some time
soon.  ;-)  At which point, I will restart PowerPC testing.

							Thanx, Paul
