> To enable NMI backtrace and KGDB's NMI cpu roundup, we need to free up
> at least one dedicated IPI.
>
> On arm64 the IPI_WAKEUP IPI is only used for the ACPI parking protocol,
> which itself is only used on some very early ARMv8 systems which
> couldn't implement PSCI.
>
> Remove the IPI_WAKEUP IPI, and rely on the IPI_RESCHEDULE IPI to wake
> CPUs from the parked state. This will cause a tiny amonut of redundant
> work to check the thread flags, but this is miniscule in relation to the
> cost of taking and handling the IPI in the first place. We can safely
> handle redundant IPI_RESCHEDULE IPIs, so there should be no functional
> impact as a result of this change.
