[PATCH] RCU - cpu-offline-cleanup [1/3]

[Dipankar Sarma]

Andrew,

There is a series of patches in my tree and these 3 are the first
ones that should probably be merged down the road. Descriptions are on 
top of the patches. Please include them in -mm.

A lot of RCU code will be cleaned up later in order to support
call_rcu_bh(), the separate RCU interface that considers softirq
handler completion a quiescent state.

Thanks
Dipankar

Minor cleanup of the hotplug code to remove #ifdef in cpu
event notifier handler. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not defined,
CPU_DEAD case will be optimized off.
