Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/8] irq_work: Make self-IPIs optable
While queuing an irq work, let the caller choose between
triggering a self-IPI right away, provided the arch is able
to do so, or waiting for the next timer interrupt to run the work.
Some non-urgent enqueuers like printk may prefer not to raise
an IPI storm in case of frequent calls on short periods of
time.
