Introduce a mechanism to fire directed IPIs from a specified source CPU
to a specified target CPU and measure the difference in time incurred on
wakeup.
Also, introduce a mechanism to queue a HR timer on a specified CPU and
subsequently measure the time taken to wakeup the CPU.
Finally define a simple debugfs interface to control the knobs to fire
the IPI and Timer events on specified CPU and view their incurred idle
wakeup latencies.
