For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on, in order to do so we
need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
I visited existing smp_send_reschedule() implementations and tried to
add a call to scheduler_ipi() in their handler part, but esp. for MIPS
I'm not quite sure I actually got all of them.
Also, while reading through all this, I noticed the blackfin SMP code
looks to be broken, it simply discards any IPI when low on memory.

Peter,
You will also have to patch the mailbox_interrupt() function in
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/smp.c
