This is not the way how we do that. We move code in one patch and then
do modification in the follow up patch. Doing both makes it harder
than necessary to follow the code change.
As a side note, that changelog for the removal of
smpboot_clear_io_apic is not telling anything why that change is
functional equivivalent to the original code. And I doubt that it's
correct.
