Subject: [PATCH] [14/58] x86_64: Add on_cpu_single


Call a function on a target CPU but do the right thing when 
we're already on that CPU. That's the main difference from smp_call_function_single
which does the wrong thing in this case (erroring out)

Another advantage is that it is also defined for the UP case, avoiding
some ifdefs.

I also dropped retry (which never did anything) and wait (because the on
current cpu case will always wait)
