I rather like the current interface.

Hmm good point, I'll back that bit out again.

But then you need to fix all callers to handle errors.

Perhaps we need a new flag for failable async IPIs (or better, API). I'm pretty sure no one uses s_c_f_s() from irq disabled context on x86, since it will WARN_ON(irqs_disabled()).
