This series aims to improve IPI support in Linux RISC-V in following ways:
1) Treat IPIs as normal per-CPU interrupts instead of having custom RISC-V
specific hooks. This also makes Linux RISC-V IPI support aligned with
other architectures.
2) Remote TLB flushes and icache flushes should prefer local IPIs instead
of SBI calls whenever we have specialized hardware (such as RISC-V AIA
IMSIC and RISC-V ACLINT) which allows S-mode software to directly inject
IPIs without any assistance from M-mode runtime firmware.
These patches were already part of the "Linux RISC-V ACLINT Support" series
but this now a separate series so that it can be merged independently of
the "Linux RISC-V ACLINT Support" series.
(Refer, https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211007123632.697666-1-anup.patel@wdc.com/)
These patches are also a preparatory patches for the up-coming:
1) Linux RISC-V ACLINT support
2) Linux RISC-V AIA support
3) KVM RISC-V TLB flush improvements
These patches can also be found in riscv_ipi_imp_v1 branch at:

Anup Patel (6):
RISC-V: Clear SIP bit only when using SBI IPI operations
irqchip/riscv-intc: Set intc domain as the default host
RISC-V: Treat IPIs as normal Linux IRQs
RISC-V: Allow marking IPIs as suitable for remote FENCEs
RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote TLB flush when possible
RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote icache flush when possible
