[PATCH 0/2] IPI numbering cleanup

Daniel Thompson reported[1] that IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE failed to fire on
one of his platforms because SGI15 was already used by the secure
firmware.

In order to move this IPI to the non-secure side, this series drops
IPI_CALL_FUNC_SINGLE (which has been deprecated for a while). This
allows the last non-secure SGI to be reallocated to IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE.
