[PATCH] sched: provide scheduler_ipi() callback in response to smp_send_reschedule()

2011-01-17 Thread Peter Zijlstra
For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on, in order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI. This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and implements it as a NOP. I visite
