Hello!

This v3 series adds support and testing for srcu_read_lock_lite()
and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), which avoid smp_mb(), but add a couple of
synchronize_rcu() calls to the grace-period processing and may only be
used where RCU is watching.

1.	Rename srcu_might_be_idle() to srcu_should_expedite().

2.	Introduce srcu_gp_is_expedited() helper function.

3.	Renaming in preparation for additional reader flavor.

4.	Bit manipulation changes for additional reader flavor.

5.	Standardize srcu_data pointers to "sdp" and similar.

6.	Improve srcu_read_lock{,_nmisafe}() comments.

7.	Create CPP macros for normal and NMI-safe SRCU readers.

8.	Add srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite().

9.	Allow inlining of __srcu_read_{,un}lock_lite().

10.	Expand RCUTORTURE_RDR_MASK_[12] to eight bits.

11.	Add reader_flavor parameter for SRCU readers.

12.	Add srcu_read_lock_lite() support to rcutorture.reader_flavor.

13.	Add light-weight SRCU scenario.

14.	Add srcu_read_lock_lite() support using "srcu-lite".

15.	Improve srcu_read_lock_lite() kernel-doc comment.

Changes since v2:

o	Apply acked-by tag.

o	Split commit per Neeraj Upadhyay feedback.

Changes since v1:

o	Apply reviewed-by tag.

o	Link to performance data.

o	Add commit improving kernel-doc comment.

o	Pull out into separate branch to avoid dependency on an otherwise
	unrelated refscale commit.

						Thanx, Paul
