Why .pin and not .phys? .pin does not (to me) reflect the
hypervisor/physical-cpu thing.

Also, as per smp_call_function_single() would it not be more consistent
to make this the last argument?

You might want to also include cpu_online().

	if (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids || !cpu_online(cpu))
+		return -ENXIO;
Seeing how its fairly hard to schedule work on a cpu that's not actually
there.
+
+	queue_work_on(cpu, system_wq, &sscs.work);
+	wait_for_completion(&sscs.done);
+
+	return sscs.ret;
+}
