This commit adds a destination CPU to __call_single_data, and is inspired by an earlier commit by Peter Zijlstra. This version adds #ifdef to permit use by 32-bit systems and supplying the destination CPU for all smp_call_function*() requests, not just smp_call_function_single(). If need be, 32-bit systems could be accommodated by shrinking the flags field to 16 bits (the atomic_t variant is currently unused) and by providing only eight bits for CPU on such systems. It is not clear that the addition of the fields to __call_single_node are really needed.

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.
