    Commit 4004c69a avoids too many remote cpu
    references while reporting per-irq stats.  Since we will not have the same
    performance penalty of bringing in remote cpu cachelines while reporting
    per-irq stats anymore, we can now afford to be consistent and report this
    statistic on all arches, all configs.
    
    akpm: affects ia64, alpha and ppc64, mainly.

    Read to /proc/stat takes:
    Plain: 	2.622832
    With speedup patch: 0.013194
    With the per-irq stats commented out: 0.008124
    
    So the performance problems which originally caused those architectures to
    disable this statistic should now be fixed up.
