Add generic helpers for arch IPI function calls
This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single() for calling a given function on a single CPU only. The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> for reviewing RCU usage and getting rid of the data allocation fallback deadlock.
