Hi Paul,

Sorry for the late reply due to the conference..

This patch looks Ok, the code in your tree though is slightly different mine
I think because you reworked the kfree_rcu() code for working during early
boot.

After my talk tomorrow, I will go through your rcu/dev tree in detail to
review the reworks you did in detail.

Let me know if you have the kfree_rcu() changes in a separate topic branch,
as well. So it will make reviewing easier.

thanks,

- Joel
