[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/6] smp: add function to execute a function synchronously on a physical cpu



On some hardware models (e.g. Dell Studio 1555 laptop) some hardware
related functions (e.g. SMIs) are to be executed on physical cpu 0
only. Instead of open coding such a functionality multiple times in
the kernel add a service function for this purpose. This will enable
the possibility to take special measures in virtualized environments
like Xen, too.

V2: instead of manipulating the allowed set of cpus use cpu specific
    workqueue as requested by Peter Zijlstra
