Cover letter [PATCH RFC tools/lkmm 0/12] Reorganize RCU-related cat rules

Hello!

This patch series reorganizes RCU-related cat-file rules:

1. Renames link and rcu-path to rcu-link and rb, respectively.
This avoids unfortunate name collisions with "link" the rule and "link" the concept. Courtesy of Alan Stern.

2. Redefines "rb" in terms of rcu-fence, explicitly expressing
the fence-like properties of RCU grace periods. Courtesy of Alan Stern.

Thanx, Paul
