In the -rcu tree, these are removed by these commits:

1798c5b6b0ea ("drivers/base: Remove CONFIG_SRCU")
19aa50512372 ("fs: Remove CONFIG_SRCU")
fe0c9bd625ad ("kernel/notifier: Remove CONFIG_SRCU")

When I merge the -rcu tree's "dev" branch with current mainline, "git
grep CONFIG_SRCU" gives me no output.  Am I fat-fingering something here?
