Yeah, have thought about it. But because I was not sure there is
special need to enalbe irq that early (don't know much about sparc),
I decided to make minor change :)

Since we have gotten confirmation from David, I'm sending out the
new version. Please check it.

Thanks,
Yong

Subject: [UPDATED] [RFC PATCH 8/10] SPARC: smp: remove call to
 ipi_call_lock_irq()/ipi_call_unlock_irq()

1) call_function.lock used in smp_call_function_many() is just to protect
   call_function.queue and &data->refs, cpu_online_mask is outside of the
   lock. And it's not necessary to protect cpu_online_mask,
   because data->cpumask is pre-calculate and even if a cpu is brougt up
   when calling arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), it's harmless because
   validation test in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() will take care
   of it.

2) For cpu down issue, stop_machine() will guarantee that no concurrent
   smp_call_fuction() is processing.

And also delay irq enable to after set_cpu_online().
