Yeah, that hasn't been forgotten (nor have your comments about folding
my special function into smp_call_function_single).

The call function path is terribly unscalable at the moment on a lot
of architectures, and also it isn't allowed to be used with interrupts
off due to deadlock (which the queued version can allow, provided
that wait=0).

I will get around to sending that upstream soon.
