As far as I can tell it mostly does the reverse. The new interfaces
are a lot more verbose for no good reason. E.g. this is a common
pattern:
- on_each_cpu(common_shutdown_1, &args, 0);
+ smp_call(SMP_CALL_ALL, common_shutdown_1, &args, SMP_CALL_TYPE_ASYNC);
or this:
- smp_call_function_single(boot_cpuid, do_remote_read, &x, 1);
+ smp_call(boot_cpuid, do_remote_read, &x, SMP_CALL_TYPE_SYNC);
The old interface more or less made some sense. The new one is just a mess.

And a lot of definitions that used to be private are not public.
