Actually, the bigger problem is that scheduler_ipi() can raise a
software interrupt, and nothing will invoke it.

It's turning quite ugly to avoid the IRQ overhead, I must admit.
So ignore this for now.

In the longer term a probably cleaner way to do this is to have
a special direct version of scheduler_ipi() that invokes all the
necessary work, even the rebalance softirq, directly rather than
indirectly.
