+ *
+ * A cli() does not block the cross call delivery, so when SMP
+ * locking is an issue we reschedule the event into a PIL interrupt
+ * which is blocked by cli().
+ *
+ * In fact any XCALL which has to etrap/rtrap has a problem because
+ * it is difficult to prevent rtrap from running BH's, and that would
+ * need to be done if the XCALL arrived while %pil==15.
