Might have got lost.

yes, but a) calling the SMP version with local interrupts disabled is a
bug, so we can use bare local_irq_disable() here and b) only two
archictures call or use this function, so all the others don't want a copy
of it.

So I did:

func(info);

_
which is somewhat unpleasant. I added a WARN_ON(irqs_disabled()) to the
out-of-line SMP version.


btw, does anyone know why the SMP versions of this function use
spin_lock_bh(&call_lock)?
