Not "static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct rcu_data, rcu_data)"?

static? And I assume you're talking about the tendency for gcc 2.95
to put uninitialized static vars in the bss, even if they are marked
as having a section attribute? If so, you should say so.

Also static I assume?

Other than that, it looks good. You should probably cc: Ingo Molnar
as it touches the scheduler...
