Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/5] powerpc: Free up the IPI message slot of ipi call
 function (PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC)

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

The IPI handlers for both PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC and PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC_SINGLE
map to a common implementation - generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt().
So, we can consolidate them and save one of the IPI message slots, (which are
precious, since only 4 of those slots are available).

So, implement the functionality of PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC using
PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC_SINGLE itself and release its IPI message slot, so that it
can be used for something else in the future, if desired.
