This converts arm to use the new helpers for smp_call_function() and
friends, and adds support for smp_call_function_single().

+void arch_send_call_function_ipi(cpumask_t mask)
 {
-	return smp_call_function_on_cpu(func, info, retry, wait,
-					cpu_online_map);
+	send_ipi_message(mask, IPI_CALL_FUNC);
 }

Can things like the above be inline functions to be included in the
generic code?

Sure, it could be put asm/smp.h for the supported archs.
