No, I think this patch is right - the declaration of the CONFIG_SMP
smp_call_function_single() is in linux/smp.h so the !CONFIG_SMP declaration
or definition should be there too.

It's still buggy though.  It should disable local interrupts around the
call to match the SMP version.  I'll fix that separately.
