[PATCH] clustered IPI cleanups
This one fixes up the IPI code to do something more sensible. Sorry, was just too ugly to leave it alone ... but I did keep it seperated out ;-) Though this is not an equivalent transform it will only affect NUMA-Q & summit - same op twice because some twit just split it out in the last patch for both NUMA-Q & Summit. Because clustered apic logical mode can't do arbitrary broadcasts of addressing (it's not just a bitmap), I have to do send IPI instructions as a sequence of unicasts. However, there's already a loop in the generic send_IPI_mask code to do that ... there's no need to call send_IPI_mask once for each CPU. The comment I wrote at the time even noted that this was silly.
