Linus,

Please pull the latest generic-ipi-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git generic-ipi-for-linus

This is a "guest topic" of -tip, pulled from Jens. It was mostly written
by Jens but Jens is on vacation now so he has asked us to handle its
integration via the -tip tree.

This tree adds generic IPI helpers and an optimized and generalized SMP
co-routine implementation in kernel/smp.c.

We've been testing it for the past few weeks and it was offered to
linux-next via -tip as well via the tip/generic-ipi-next branch so we
are reasonably sure about its quality and will take the blame if it
breaks anything ;-)

I've done a grep half an hour ago for newly arrived uses of the changed
API in your latest tree, the last two commits fix up those instances.

Thanks,

Ingo
