hotplug: eliminate warning Unknown IPI message 0x1

Hi, All

Does the second parameter of gic_raise_softirq(const struct cpumask *mask, unsigned int irq) have special meaning? because most of the callers have 1 for this, while 0 for mach-highbank. This hard code value also causes hotplug warnings:

/sys/devices/system/cpu # echo 0 > cpu3/online
CPU3: shutdown
/sys/devices/system/cpu # echo 1 > cpu3/online
CPU3: Booted secondary processor
Calibrating delay loop (skipped) already calibrated this CPU
CPU3: Unknown IPI message 0x1

IMHO, it's necessary to introduce a new ipi_msg_type to eliminate this warning. And I did the testing on vexpress board, so far so good.

So any comments?

When playing hotplug on vexpress board, a tiny warning pops out.

/sys/devices/system/cpu # echo 0 > cpu3/online
CPU3: shutdown
/sys/devices/system/cpu # echo 1 > cpu3/online
CPU3: Booted secondary processor
Calibrating delay loop (skipped) already calibrated this CPU
CPU3: Unknown IPI message 0x1

      ^^^^^^^

It's a phony warning caused by handle_IPI as a result of calling gic_raise_softirq(cpumask_of(cpu), 1). Introducing a new ipi_msg_type IPI_WAKEUP_CPU to make this warning go away.

with this patch, now hotplug looks like:

/sys/devices/system/cpu # echo 0 > cpu3/online ; echo 1 > cpu3/online \
cat /proc/interrupts
CPU3: shutdown
CPU3: Booted secondary processor
Calibrating delay loop (skipped) already calibrated this CPU CPU3 got wake up!

NAK. I want people to move to SGI0 for this, so that we can have SGI1-N as the proper IPIs. The reason _I_ haven't done this is because it's totally unclear whether anyone relies on the current IPI number.

Thanks for your explanation, now I understand what's going on here.

but I will keep trying to fight for my dreams!
