Hello, Frederic,
One thing that I have had on my list for some time is to rearrange the
RCU source code to make it easier to find things. Given our discussion
yesterday, this seemed like a good time to take that step with the
expedited grace-period code. I have a couple of commits doing this in
-rcu, and would like your opinion. Worthwhile, or should I revert those
two commits?
Thanx, Paul

It's definetly worth having a look! And it might help me eventually understand
that expedited grace period thing :-)
Thanks!

Moving the expedited handling into its own files indeed
seems to better organize the sub-parts of RCU. That seems
like a good idea.
Thanks,

And for me to document it. ;-)

Sounds good, will give it a try. If it works well, I might do the same
for other sub-parts of RCU.
Thanx, Paul
