3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Russell King <rmk+ker...@arm.linux.org.uk>
commit 7deabca0acfe02b8e18f59a4c95676012f49a304 upstream.
We can stall RCU processing on SMP platforms if a CPU sits in its idle
loop for a long time. This happens because we don't call irq_enter()
and irq_exit() around generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() and
friends. Add the necessary calls, and remove the one from within
ipi_timer(), so that they're all in a common place.
