Hi,

I'm not sure what I should do. Maybe disable relay_late_setup_files()
on sparc64, with an empty inline?

sparc64 seems to have smp_call_function_mask(). If we have the generic
kernel/smp.c in linux-next or -mmotm, then this will define
smp_call_function_single() to call smp_call_function_mask().

Is there anything I can do regarding this patch? Does it work since
kernel/smp.c reappeared?
