+ * The following permit choosing broadcast IPI shortcut v.s sending IPI only
+ * to online cpus via the send_IPI_mask varient.
+ * The mask version is my preferred option, since it eliminates a lot of
+ * other extra code that would need to be written to cleanup intrs sent
+ * to a CPU while offline.
+ *
+ * Sending broadcast introduces lots of trouble in CPU hotplug situations.
+ * These IPI's are delivered to cpu's irrespective of their offline status
+ * and could pickup stale intr data when these CPUS are turned online.
+ *
+ * Not using broadcast is a cleaner approach IMO, but Andi Kleen disagrees with
+ * the idea of not using broadcast IPI's anymore. Hence the run time check
+ * is introduced, on his request so we can choose an alternate mechanism.
+ *
+ * Initial wacky performance tests that collect cycle counts show
+ * no increase in using mask v.s broadcast version. In fact they seem
+ * identical in terms of cycle counts.
+ *
+ * if we need to use broadcast, we need to do the following.
+ *
+ * cli;
+ * hold call_lock;
+ * clear any pending IPI, just ack and clear all pending intr
+ * set cpu_online_map;
+ * release call_lock;
+ * sti;
+ *
+ * The complicated dummy irq processing shown above is not required if
+ * we didnt sent IPI's to wrong CPU's in the first place.
