Very good, thank you!

Of those five options (TREE01, TREE02, TREE03, TREE04, and rcuscale),
which one should be changed so that my own testing automatically covers
the rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1 case?  I would guess that we should
leave out TREE03, since it covers tall rcu_node trees.  TREE01 looks
closest to the ChromeOS/Android use case, but you tell me!

And it might be time to rework the test cases to better align with
the use cases.  For example, I created TREE10 to cover Meta's fleet.
But ChromeOS and Android have relatively small numbers of CPUs, so it
should be possible to rework things a bit to make one of the existing
tests cover that case, while modifying other tests to take up any
situations that these changes exclude.

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul
