I think this kind of work is very important as more and more processing
moves to isolated cpus that need protection from miscellaneous kernel
interrupts.  Keep at it! :-)
Thank you very much. I believe it also has some small contribution to
keeping idle CPUs idle in a multi-core system. I consider this my

My current plan is to take a look at each invocation of on_each_cpu in
core kernel code and see if it makes sense to give it a similar
