(Removed am33, m32r-ka, m32r, arm-kernel lists because they kept sending

Subject: sched: provide scheduler_ipi() callback in response to smp_send_reschedule()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz-wEGCiKHe2LqWVfeAwA7xHQ@public.gmane.org>
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 12:07:13 +0100

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
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.

I visited existing smp_send_reschedule() implementations and tried to
add a call to scheduler_ipi() in their handler part, but esp. for MIPS
I'm not quite sure I actually got all of them.

Also, while reading through all this, I noticed the blackfin SMP code
looks to be broken, it simply discards any IPI when low on memory.
