This is a request to merge patchwork id 3780 with the same subject.
I believe it was marked "changes requested" because it depended on a
patch that had requested changes, but those were resolved and this
one got overlooked. The next patch will remove smp_msg_recv.
thanks,

Here is the original change log:
Subject: [PATCH 15/16] powerpc cell: use smp_request_message_ipi
cell native has 4 interrupts for ipis, so use the new smp_request_message_ipi
to save pathlength and the data-dependent branch.
This has the side effects of enabling the debugger ipi for kdump and
setting IRQF_PERCPU for the ipi interrupts. It doesn't undo the virq
mapping if it turns out the ipi is not used.
