Good point, a bit hard to use otherwise.  ;-)

I removed the declaration from rcutree.h and updated the commit log as
follows.  Does it look OK?

							Thanx, Paul

commit 4497105b718a819072d48a675916d9d200b5327f

    rcu: Declare rcu_eqs_special_set() in public header
    
    Because rcu_eqs_special_set() is declared only in internal header
    kernel/rcu/tree.h and stubbed in include/linux/rcutiny.h, it is
    inaccessible outside of the RCU implementation.  This patch therefore
    moves the  rcu_eqs_special_set() declaration to include/linux/rcutree.h,
    which allows it to be used in non-rcu kernel code.
