Linus provided a implementation for this for x2apic_cluster and
mumbled at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=144660325518209 :

I thought it's worthwhile so I had a look at the other apic
implementations and all but apic_default and apic_flat can be
converted halfways simple to provide a single target callback.

The following series does that and gets rid of the wrapper in the call
site at the end.

Compiles and didn't explode when booting it, so it must be perfect :)

Thanks,

	tglx
