The linux-next integration testing tree

In order to deal with IPIs as normal interrupts, let's add a new way to register them with the architecture code. set_smp_ipi_range() takes a range of interrupts, and allows the arch code to request them as if the were normal interrupts. A standard handler is then called by the core IRQ code to deal with the IPI. This means that we don't need to call irq_enter/irq_exit, and that we don't need to deal with set_irq_regs either. So let's move the dispatcher into its own function, and leave handle_IPI() as a compatibility function. On the sending side, let's make use of ipi_send_mask, which already exists for this purpose. One of the major difference is that we end up, in some cases (such as when performing IRQ time accounting on the scheduler IPI), end up with nested irq_enter()/irq_exit() pairs. Other than the (relatively small) overhead, there should be no consequences to it (these pairs are designed to nest correctly, and the accounting shouldn't be off).

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.
