This seems to be just cleanup of the way IPI are handled in ppc64
(mux/demux). I don't understand the details but looks like not a
necessary component of the problem at hand.

Here Benjamin talks about following.

    Manual merge of arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c and add missing scheduler_ipi()
    call to arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/interrupt.c

And I can't find any scheduler_ipi() call in current cell/interrupt.c. So
either it got moved or something else happend. CCing him to find out. 

Thanks
Vivek
