questions on how x86 uses IPI for tlb invalidates

I'm looking at adding some code into powerpc for doing tlb invalidate broadcasts via IPI and am looking at the x86 code as a model. I was wondering how the x86 code ensures we aren't interrupted in the process of doing something like flush_tlb_page().
