I didn't read right to the end of the 0/11 mail in detail, I admit. :) Now that I have, I don't see anything about smp_send_stop trying to get the interrupt sent off in a panic situation when some other cpu might be stuck holding the lock (unless that's the "ipi_lock is a little muddy" part, but that only talks about cpu onlining). That bit looks to be powerpc-specific, added in commit e057d985 in December 2007, so perhaps a mention that that has gone away now in the description for 3/11 would be good.
