good question, I thought I had a comment above, just disregard.

well, right now, the only reason it's not supported is "we didn't bother
thinking about it or doing it" and I haven't heard a valid reason for
why we should be designing a new user space API etc. without supporting
PPIs.

So yes, either argue why it's better to not include PPI support in the
first round, why we never need to, or just support it ;)

If it's specific to ioapic then fine, just wanted to make sure you
checked it's not something we need to consider for ARM/ARM64.
