Since this commit in -dev branch [1] suggests more users still need
conversion, let us drop this single patch for 6.4 and move the rest of
the series forward? Let me know if you disagree.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commi=
t/?h=3Ddev&id=3D9bf5e3a2626ed474d080f695007541b6ecd6e60b

All -- please supply Ack/Review tags for patches 1-12.

thanks,

 - Joel
