* By converting the internal x86 smp_ops function send_call_func_ipi
    to pass a pointer to the cpumask_t variable, we greatly reduce the
    stack space required when NR_CPUS=4096.

    Further reduction will be realized when the send_IPI_mask interface
    is changed in 2.6.28.

Based on 2.6.27-rc5-git6.

Applies to linux-2.6.tip/master (with FUZZ).
