Subject: [PATCH 0 of 8] x86/smp function calls: convert x86 tlb flushes to use
	function calls

Hi Ingo,

Here's the more polished series to:

1. use smp_call_function_mask to implement cross-cpu TLB flushes
2. bring tlb_32/64.c closer together, in preparation for
3. unifying tlb.c
4. add multi-queue capability for smp_call_function
5. implement multiple queues on x86
6. make the number of queues more configurable
7. add a kernel parameter to disable multiple queues in case
   it causes problems

Thanks,
	J
