Ok, I'e pushed out the cleanups (and all the pulls that always come in
on Friday afternoon - gaah, I shouldn't have tried doing this on a
Friday).

I'm attaching the current left-over patch that actually changes
things. It's obviously a composite, and includes your "remove
stack_smp_processor_id()" thing etc, so it's not meant to be used
as-is, but it does seem to work.

Interestingly, it seems pretty clean too, removing more lines than it
adds (despite the fact that it adds a new config option), and
generally making things prettier rather than the reverse.

That's always a good sign.
