Yes, But during kdump process, the crash cpu will send IPIs to other CPUs
and wait until other CPUs reply these IPIs. So at last only the crash CPU's
active state of PPI should be cleared. My second approach seems enough for
this situation.

I think so, For other situation, the second approach is not enough. I should
expend my first solution.
BTW, if we have to "parsing the active bits" as you said, Is it necessary to
change IRQD_IRQ_INPROGRESS flag in PPI as my second patch?
