Thank you! But...

Last night's rcutorture run was not amused. Looking into it...
A pair of full hangs at boot (TASKS03 and TREE04), no console output
whatsoever. Not sure how these changes could cause that, but suspicion
falls on sched_tick_offload_init(). Though even that is a bit strange
because if so, why didn't TREE01 and TREE07 also hang? Again, looking
into it.
Thanx, Paul
