[PATCH v9 04/16] arm: smp: Introduce a special IPI signalled using FIQ

[Daniel Thompson]

Cross CPU signalling based on FIQ is especially useful for kgdb since
it makes stopping all the CPUs during breakpointing more robust (some
of the other architectures already roundup the CPUs using NMIs).

The approach taken provides infrastructure that can be called (or not) by
the driver's FIQ handler depending upon it requirements. In other words
nothing is added here that prevents the driver from accessing "bare metal"
performance.
