- * 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.
