[Linux-ia64] [patch] 2.4.20 ia64_sal_mc_rendez must not lock

[Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com>]

No cpu will return from ia64_sal_mc_rendez() until all cpus have
entered rendezvous and the monarch cpu sends the wake up ipi.  All cpus
try to call ia64_sal_mc_rendez() but only the first one makes it, the
others all block on the spinlock and eventually SAL hits them with an
INIT.

Why do I get the feeling that I am the first person to really use this
code?

With this patch and my previous patch to set SAL_MC_PARAM_RZ_ALWAYS,
kdb v4.0 gets backtrace on _ALL_ cpus when an MCA occurs.  Well, almost
all, if any of the cpus are spinning disabled then the MCA rendezvous
interrupt does not get through, SAL sends INIT and that cpu drops into
INIT processing.  kdb processing for INIT handlers is not complete yet,
work in progress.
