I used the same kconfig to build a kernel from tip/next HEAD *plus*
the v2 patch. The result is, no smp_call_function_single/many warnings
are observed.

Andrew, the background is: Ingo has *reverted* the original patch that
triggered the smp_call_function_single warning from his tip tree, so
the test result means this patch's warning messages won't trigger in
my test boots.

Thanks,
