Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the rcu tree with the tip tree

Hi Paul,

Today's linux-next merge of the rcu tree got a conflict in arch/Kconfig
between commit b952741c8079 ("cputime: Generalize
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING") from the tip tree and commit 3dbdfc26e27f
("rcu: Settle config for userspace extended quiescent state") from the
rcu tree.

Just context changes.  I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as
necessary.

+ 	  preemption or signal handling on irq exit still need to be protected.
