You say nothing about the nesting of irq_enter() and irq_exit()
for scheduler_ipi().

Given that lockdep introduced the requirement that hard IRQs can't
be nested, are we sure that calling irq_exit() twice is safe?

Looking at irqtime_account_irq(), it seems that will cause double-
accounting of in-interrupt time, since we will increment
irq_start_time by just over twice the the period spent handling
the IPI.

I think the rest of irq_exit() should be safe, but still, this
behaviour should be documented at the very least, if not avoided.
