That sounds good. I wonder where register_ipi_completion() should be
put. This must execute before cpu_die() of dying CPU (if I get it
right). So it cannot be __cpu_die(). One candidate is __cpu_disable()
but it may not be called always. Any ideas?

I think there is no strong reason. Maybe except that if bit was cleared
already then we skip the wait preparation steps. I followed the
convention of wait_on_bit in include/linux/wait.h.

I'll remove the test.

Yes, indeed. I'll update it.

Thanks for feedback,
