We have some fun conflicts between this series and Frederic's context-tracking
series. But it looks like these can be resolved by:
1. A patch on top of Frederic's series that provides the old rcu_*()
names for the functions now prefixed with ct_*() such as
ct_idle_exit().
2. Another patch on top of Frederic's series that takes the
changes remaining from this patch, shown below. Frederic's
series uses raw_local_irq_save() and raw_local_irq_restore(),
which can then be removed.
Or is there a better way to do this?
Thanx, Paul

context_tracking: Interrupts always disabled for ct_idle_exit()
Now that the idle-loop cleanups have ensured that rcu_idle_exit() is
always invoked with interrupts disabled, remove the interrupt disabling
in favor of a debug check.
