Ah -- you need both patches.

These are on -rcu at:

501889db6fee (arm: Use _rcuidle tracepoint to allow use from idle)
99cd56ad86d2 (rm: Use more _rcuidle tracepoints to allow use from idle)

And -rcu may be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git

Thanx, Paul
