irq_work_queue_on() doesn't check whether 'cpu' is the CPU that we're
running on.  This is a problem where we want to be able to run a kernel
built for SMP on a UP system.

I guess the question is whether irq_work_queue_on() is buggy, or whether
our implementation of arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() is buggy.
Should arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() do something on UP systems,
if so what?

We don't have IPIs on UP systems, so we can't raise any interrupts.
So, should we call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly
from it?

Some clues would be good...
