The comment and the relevant code for 82a7dd3df needs fixing: all
pipeline ports should expose 4 IPIs, named IPIPE_SERVICE_IPI[0-3].
powerpc/SMP has one more up to 2.6.34, but IPI4 will disappear in
2.6.35. The upcoming arm/SMP port conforms to this requirement as well.
Those are merely pipelined IPI channels, the way the arch-dep section
manages to multiplex them (or not) over the available hw channel(s) is
of course unspecified. The virtual IPI numbers are also unspecified.

Nitpicking: if you intend to push this material to me at some point,
please make sure to prefix commit subject lines with 'ipipe:' for the
-noarch section, and 'x86/ipipe:' for the rest. I'm a grep fanboy, and
this 'tends' to conform to linux mainline as well.
