None of these functions should ever be ran with RCU disabled anymore. Specifically, do_handle_IPI() is only called from handle_IPI() which explicitly does irq_enter()/irq_exit() which ensures RCU is watching. The problem with smp_cross_call() was, per commit 7c64cc0531fa ("arm: Use _rcuidle for smp_cross_call() tracepoints"), that cpuidle_enter_state_coupled() already had RCU disabled, but that's long been fixed by commit 1098582a0f6c ("sched,idle,rcu: Push rcu_idle deeper into the idle path").
