Yeah, I think ARM without SMP is almost a bug. :-)  So for this series:

Let me take a look.  The most important question is, if there's a bug, 
will we find it before the release?  Since smp_call_function() is called 
by basically everyone all the time, I think we can be pretty confident 
that we'll find any bugs in x86 code.  Would you agree?
