Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are mostly related to preparatory work
  for the full-dynticks work:

   - Remove restrictions on no-CBs CPUs, make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take
     advantage of numbered callbacks, do callback accelerations based on
     numbered callbacks.  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/960

   - RCU documentation updates.  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/570

   - Miscellaneous fixes.  Posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/18/594"

This option causes RCU to attempt to accelerate grace periods in
order to allow CPUs to enter dynticks-idle state more quickly.
On the other hand, this option increases the overhead of the
dynticks-idle checking, thus degrading scheduling latency.
This option permits CPUs to enter dynticks-idle state even if
they have RCU callbacks queued, and prevents RCU from waking
these CPUs up more than roughly once every four jiffies (by
default, you can adjust this using the rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay
parameter), thus improving energy efficiency. On the other
hand, this option increases the duration of RCU grace periods,
for example, slowing down synchronize_rcu().
Say Y if energy efficiency is critically important, and you don't
care about real-time response.
