  • This commit adds a destination CPU to __call_single_data, and is inspired
    by an earlier commit by Peter Zijlstra. This version adds #ifdef to
    permit use by 32-bit systems and supplying the destination CPU for all
    smp_call_function*() requests, not just smp_call_function_single().

    If need be, 32-bit systems could be accommodated by shrinking the flags
    field to 16 bits (the atomic_t variant is currently unused) and by
    providing only eight bits for CPU on such systems.

    It is not clear that the addition of the fields to __call_single_node
    are really needed.

  • Instead of relying on BUG_ON() to ensure the various data structures
    line up, use a bunch of horrible unions to make it all automatic.

    Much of the union magic is to ensure irq_work and smp_call_function do
    not (yet) see the members of their respective data structures change
    name.
