[Linux-ia64] [PATCH] sal calls w/o taking sal_lock

[Linux-ia64] [PATCH] sal calls w/o taking sal_lock

[Jesse Barnes]

This patch adds SAL_CALL_NOLOCK so that platforms may call the SAL
without taking a lock, if appropriate.  The ia64_sal_mc_rendez() has
been changed to use it, since it won't return until all CPUs have been
rendevoused by the SAL, if I understand correctly.  It's also used by
various SN specific SAL routines that access the system controllers
and might be useful to other plaforms.

Thanks,
Jesse
