[Patch 6/7] rcu: Use smp_hotplug_thread facility for RCUs per-CPUkthread

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Jul 16 2012 - 06:43:43 EST

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Bring RCU into the new-age CPU-hotplug fold by modifying RCU's per-CPU
kthread code to use the new smp_hotplug_thread facility.

[ tglx: Adapted it to use callbacks and to the simplified rcu yield ]
