Will CPU 0 be forever prohibited from NO_HZ_FULL status?

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello, Frederic,

Just realized that I could further decrease RT latency of one of my "shut
up RCU on NO_HZ_FULL CPUs" patches if I relied on CPU 0 always having
a scheduling-clock tick unless the entire system is idle.  The trick
is that I could then rely on CPU 0 to detect RCU CPU stall warnings,
and remove the checking from the other CPUs.

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul
