But judging from the intent of this patch series (fixing WARNs on
certain configs), and that the triggering condition is currently
impossible on m68k (and other non-SMP) platforms, I think cleanups for
such arches could come as a separate patch series later. I think the
m68k refactoring is reasonable after all, due to my observation above,
but for the other non-SMP arches we may want to wait for the respective
maintainers' opinions.

It seems that the best solution is only fix architectures with SMP
support and leave others (m68k, microblaze, um) as is. :)

I think it probably makes sense to do this as a combined cleanup patch,
which I can merge through the asm-generic tree, for all architectures
whose maintainer does not pick it up directly. For SMP architectures,
it's a bugfix that we probably want backported into stable kernels, while
for non-SMP targets it is just a minor cleanup for consistency.
OK, I will send V2 later.
