Wrong vector, my bad.

However 2) still stands in my opinion. We don't have "ipi raise" trace point for x86.
RESCHEDULE_VECTOR, CALL_FUNCTION_SINGLE_VECTOR, as well as TLB invalidation vectors are essentially inter-processor-interrupts if I'm not mistaken.
Would a patch adding such trace point be considered here?

Thanks,
