smp_call_function_single() enables irqs and hibernate doesn't like that?

BTW, I have no other UP machine to test with, but I reported
in another thread that a !SMP kernel (or a SMP kernel
with maxcpus=0 parameter) does not boot at all on
my destop machine, see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/12/468

No idea if I should be worried about this since the
SMP kernel now works fine, another hibernate problem
was solved in
