> Changes in v11:
> - Adjust comment about NR_IPI/MAX_IPI.
> - Don't use confusing "backed by" idiom in comment.
> - Made arm64_backtrace_ipi() static.

> Changes in v10:
> - Backtrace now directly supported in smp.c
> - Squash backtrace into patch adding support for pseudo-NMI IPIs.
>
> Changes in v9:
> - Added comments that we might not be using NMI always.
> - Fold in v8 patch #10 ("Fallback to a regular IPI if NMI isn't enabled")
> - Moved header file out of "include" since it didn't need to be there.
> - Remove arm64_supports_nmi()
> - Renamed "NMI IPI" to "debug IPI" since it might not be backed by NMI.
> - arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() no longer returns bool
>
> Changes in v8:
> - Removed "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP" since arm64 is always SMP
> - debug_ipi_setup() and debug_ipi_teardown() no longer take cpu param
