  • For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
    function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.

    In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.

    This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
    implements it as a NOP.

    BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!
