[PATCH] i386: Dont use IPI broadcast when using cpu hotplug.
This patch introduces a startup parameter no_broadcast. When we enable
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, we dont want to use broadcast shortcut as it has ill
effects on a offline cpu. If we issue broadcast, the IPI is also delivered
to offline cpus, or partially up cpu causing stale IPI's to be handled,
which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects.
Introduces a new startup cmdline option no_ipi_broadcast, that can be
switched at cmdline if necessary.
