[RFC][PATCH] irq_work -v2

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

Utterly untested and you really need visit all the touched architectures
if you want to make it useful.

In order for other NMI context users that want to run things from
hard-IRQ context, extract the perf_event callback mechanism.
