Heaven knows; I don't think now is the time to try to fix this.

If I'd thought for two seconds I wouldn't have sent that patch at this
time - additional low-level includes in low-level header files are
often problematic.

Methinks we should fight this battle at a later date.  I queued this:

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>
Subject: include/linux/smp.h:on_each_cpu(): switch back to a macro

f21afc25f9ed4 ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in !SMP version of
on_each_cpu()") converted on_each_cpu() to a C function.  This required
inclusion of irqflags.h, which broke ia64 and mn10300 (at least) due to
header ordering hell.

Switch on_each_cpu() back to a macro to fix this.
