Every __smp_processor_id usage doesn't have arguments and
every raw_smp_processor_id usage doesn't have arguments,
therefore "#define __smp_processor_id(x)" can not possibly work.

It's been that way for at least 4 years. Presumably this is never used
and should be removed?

Deleting breaks compilation immediately.
C89 6.8.3 §4 says
"The number of arguments in an invocation of a function-like
macro shall agree with the number of parameters in the macro
definition, ..."
C99 relaxes this in 6.10.3 §4
the number of arguments (including those arguments
consisting of no preprocesing tokens) ... shall equal
the number of parameters in the macro definition.
So, "#define M()" works with M() only, but "#define M(a)" worked with
M(1) and started working as M() which is very funny.
In other words changelog is wrong: it can and does work (sort of by
accident).
