Currently irq_work_queue_on() will issue an unconditional arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() and has the handler do irq_work_run(). This is unfortunate in that it makes the IPI handler look at a second cacheline and it misses the opportunity to avoid the IPI. Instead note that struct irq_work and struct __call_single_data are very similar in layout, so use a few bits in the flags word to encode a type and stick the irq_work on the call_single_queue list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
