x86 smp: modify send_IPI_mask interface to accept cpumask_t pointers
Impact: cleanup, change parameter passing * Change genapic interfaces to accept cpumask_t pointers where possible. * Modify external callers to use cpumask_t pointers in function calls. * Create new send_IPI_mask_allbutself which is the same as the send_IPI_mask functions but removes smp_processor_id() from list. This removes another common need for a temporary cpumask_t variable. * Functions that used a temp cpumask_t variable for: cpumask_t allbutme = cpu_online_map; cpu_clear(smp_processor_id(), allbutme); if (!cpus_empty(allbutme)) ... become: if (!cpus_equal(cpu_online_map, cpumask_of_cpu(cpu))) ... * Other minor code optimizations (like using cpus_clear instead of CPU_MASK_NONE, etc.) Applies to linux-2.6.tip/master.
