I've been hacking on something like this (CSD deferral for NOHZ-full),
and unfortunately this uses the CPU-local cfd_data storage thing, which
means any further smp_call_function() from the same CPU to the same
destination will spin on csd_lock_wait(), waiting for the target CPU to
come out of userspace and flush the queue - and we've just spent extra
effort into *not* disturbing it, so that'll take a while :(

I don't have much that is in a shareable state yet (though I'm supposed to
talk some more about it at OSPM in <2 weeks, so I'll have to get there),
but ATM I'm playing with
o a bitmask (like in [1]) for coalescable stuff such as do_sync_core() for
  x86 instruction patching
o a CSD-like queue for things that need to pass data around, using
  statically-allocated storage (so with a limit on how much it can be used) - the
  alternative being allocating a struct on sending, since you don't have a
  bound on how much crap you can queue on an undisturbed NOHZ-full CPU...
