With the new generic smp call function helpers, I noticed the code in
smp_message_recv was a single function call in many cases.  While
getting the message number from the ipi data is easy, we can reduce
the path length by a function and data dependent switch by registering
separate ipi actions for these simple calls.

Originally I left the ipi action array exposed, but then I realized the
registration code should be common too.

The three users each had their own name array, so I made a fourth
to convert all users to use a common one.

v2: fix arg reversal noted by Geert Uytterhoeven.   This order is most
similar to request_irq and message in data field, but without casting.

Perhaps we should make the common code look like an ipi action handler
and remove this last call?  Currently we still have to allocate a stack
frame to load the return value.

With this I get:

  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_request_message_ipi':
arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:177: error: 'ipi_names' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:177: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:177: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.o] Error 1

I think you need smp_ipi_name rather than ipi_names here:

> +		virq, ipi_names[msg], err);

Paul.

You are exactly correct.  I changed my mind on the name of this 
varable, and missed this spot on the final edit.  However, my compile 
passed because it was during the time that the powerpc version of WARN 
was never evaluating its printf arguments.

I wrote and compile tested the change, but need to find or setup a 
mailer to send it.
