Hello!

The following changes to torture-testing come before the infamous ->gp_seq
conversion:

1.      Use a single build directory for torture scenarios (currently
        there is one directory for each build within a given batch, which
        makes no sense given that all of these builds are serialized).

2.      Remove obsolete TREE08-T.boot file.  Use of the shiny new
        "--bootargs rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact=1" makes use of a separate
        file unnecesary.

3.      Make kvm-find-errors.sh find close calls as well as the usual
        hard errors.

4.      Make online/offline messages appear only for verbose=2.  This
        change is necessitated by the ability to make CPU-hotplug operations
        happen much more frequently than in the past.

5.      Keep old-school dmesg format while Joe Perches is changing the
        default format.  Later, rcutorture can move to the new format
        and at the same time update the analysis scripts.  (As opposed
        to having the analysis scripts just suddenly break when Joe's
        changes hit mainline.)

                                                        Thanx, Paul
