[XenPPC] [PATCH] Make IPI handlers run in parallel

[Amos Waterland <apw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Make a copy of the vector information while protected by a lock, then
release the lock and use that information to acknowledge and act on the IPI.
We always have a consistent set of information in this case, as opposed
to the case of dropping and reaquiring the lock.  

This patch makes read_clocks work properly.
