Xen vs native is a runtime choice, so you can't just statically define 
arch_send_call_function(_single)_ipi for each.  You need to define the 
arch_* functions once, make them call via smp_ops, and call into the 
respective native and Xen versions of the ipi functions.

Aside from that it looks good, with a very appealing code size reduction.
