Hello!

This series provides an in-kernel API to expedite and unexpedite normal
RCU grace-period primitives such as synchronize_rcu().  It also provides
a Kconfig parameter that implicitly expedites at boot time, along with
a function that notes the end of in-kernel boot.  This last function is
intended to be invoked just before init is spawned.

1.	Provide rcu_expedite_gp() and rcu_unexpedite_gp().

2.	Add rcu_expedite_gp() and rcu_unexpedite_gp() to rcutorture.

3.	Change open-coded references ot the rcu_expedited variable to
	instead use the new rcu_gp_is_expedited() function.

4.	Add a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter that emulates
	a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp().  Also provide a new
	rcu_end_inkernel_boot() function that provides the corresponding
	rcu_unexpedite_gp() if CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT.

5.	Make consistent use of variables in rcu_torture_writer().

							Thanx, Paul
