[patch 4/12] s390: external call performance.
From: Heiko Carstens <[email protected]>
The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other
CPUs. When running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get
delivered immediately but within a fixed polling invervall. This
can lead to delays where the system appears to do nothing. Replace
the SIGP external call order with the SIGP emergency call order
since this one gets delivered immediately.
