Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

irq_thermal_count is only being maintained when
X86_THERMAL_VECTOR, and both X86_THERMAL_VECTOR and
X86_MCE_THRESHOLD don't need extra wrapping in X86_MCE
conditionals.

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Implement set_perf_counter_pending() with a self-IPI so that it will
run ASAP in a usable context.
For now use a second IRQ vector, because the primary vector pokes
the apic in funny ways that seem to confuse things.
