  MAINTAINERS: Add references to tip tree handbook (2026-03-18 08:35:24 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
— Reference the tip tree maintainer handbook directly from the relevant
  MAINTAINERS file entries (covering timers, IRQ, locking, scheduling, perf,
  x86, and others) so that contributors and tooling can know where to
  look

— Enable interrupt remapping in defconfig, which is an architectural
  requirement for x2APIC to function correctly on bare metal.  Without it,
  x2APIC was effectively enabled but non-functional.

— Ensure that drivers which register custom restart handlers (such as those
  needed for SoC-based x86 devices like Intel Lightning Mountain) are actually
  invoked during reboot, bringing x86 in line with how other architectures
  handle this.
