Now that Florian has updated BMIPS to not rely on irq_cpu_offline [1], it is pretty tempting to totally get of this misfeature. We can't really do that because Octeon uses it like crazy, but the couple of other users are easy to convert. Once this is done, these helpers are hidden behind a config symbol that depends on the Octeon platform being selected. When Octeon is finally removed from the tree, we'll be able to drop this as well.
