So this is unfortunate (and we already have one such instance).

It effectively does an for_each_online_cpu() with IRQs disabled, and on
SGI class hardware that takes _forever_.

This is also what I got stuck on trying to rewrite AC to use Tommaso's
recoverable thing. In the end I had to do a 2 stage try/commit variant.
Which ended up being a pain and I didn't finish.

I'm not saying this patch is bad, but this is something we need to thing
about.
