Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] smp: irq_work / smp_call_function rework

Hi,

Here is a new version of the irq_work / smp_call_function integration / cleanup.

I'm thinking the first (5?) patches should be ready to go in, all the
dependents (i915, block) landed this merge window.

The rest attempts to 'fix' smp_call_function_single_async() while migrating a
number of performance sensitive users over to a new (fairly crap by
requirements) interface.

But by getting 'rid' of those smp_call_function_single_async() users, we can
'fix' that interface.

I'm still not entirely happy with the end result. Suggestions?
