fc0091b3c8 x86: change init_gdt to update the gdt via write_gdt, rather than a direct write.
By writing directly, a memory access violation can occur whilst
hotplugging a CPU if the entry was previously marked read-only.

3b16cf8748 x86: convert to generic helpers for IPI function calls
This converts x86, x86-64, and xen to use the new helpers for
smp_call_function() and friends, and adds support for
smp_call_function_single().

e32640a2cd x86: create smpcommon.c
This patch creates smpcommon.c with functions that are
equal between architectures. The i386-only init_gdt
is ifdef'd.

Note that smpcommon.o figures twice in the Makefile:
this is because sub-architectures like voyager that does
not use the normal smp_$(BITS) files also have to access them
