Beware of false positive, I've used "fake" reschedule IPIs in the past
for other things (like kicking a CPU out of sleep state for unrelated
reasons). Nothing that I know that is upstream today but some of that
might come back. I'd like to avoid having to add an atomic to know if
it's a real reschedule, will the scheduler be smart enough to not bother
with false positives ?

Cheers,
Ben.
