Hi Peter,

Thanks for your point out.
I'm sorry for making a mistake when I make this patch, I'll send the new
patch soon

Hi Andrew,

I can't apply "kernel/smp.c: relocate some code" because this patch are
base on my other patch: "generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless",
which can be found at:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/24/63

I'll rewrite your patch base on it

Thanks,
Xiao
