No reason to not allow MEMBARRIER_CMD_FLAG_CPU on
MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED or
MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE.
If it is known specifically what cpu you want to interrupt then there
is a decent efficiency saving in not interrupting all the other ones.
Also - the code already works as is for them.
