I don't think it would have triggered build error as there are dummy
functions which just calls the function on the local CPU, but it does
look pretty broken now.  e.g. ia64 supports memory hotplug which
depends on stop machine but it would still be using dummy local
version, which can't be right.

Robin, is there an open bug report regarding this issue?  I'm not sure
enough to suggest -stable but definitely mainline material.

Thanks.
