[PATCH 0/2] membarrier: allow cpu_id to be set on more commands

[Dylan Yudaken <dyudaken@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I noticed that only the RSEQ membarrier command allows specifying a
specific cpu. I have a (extremely toy) lib I was playing around with [1] and
noticed this and that being able to specify the cpu would be useful to
me.

I'm by no means an expert in this code though - and so could be
totally missing something.

Additionally this seems really difficult to actually test. I added a
self test that just proces "some" interrupts are being sent, but
nothing more than that. I don't know what else can be done there.

Patch 1 is the main change
Patch 2 is the self-test. Which maybe you don't want at all.

Thanks,
Dylan
