state to save power, so after writing the entry point address for a core to
the mailbox, use a dsb() to synchronize the execution pipeline to the data
written, then use an sev() to wake up the core.

intr_pic_init_secondary. Replace them with a direct call. On BCM2836
and ARMADA XP we need to add this function, but it can be empty.

slightly wrong on the others. We should just check if mp_ncpus is set to
more than one CPU as we may wish to run on a single core even when SMP is
available.

missed. In other words, if a new request for an IPI is sent while the
previous request is being handled but the IPI is not cleared yet, the
clearing of the previous IPI request also clears the new one and the
handling is missed.
There are only three MP interrupt controllers in ARM now. Two of them are
fixed by this change, the third one is correct, probably only just by
accident. The fix is minimalistic as new interrupt framework is awaited.
It was debugged on RPi2 where missing IPI handling together with SCHED_ULE
led to situation in which tdq_ipipending was not cleared and so IPI_PREEMPT
was stopped to be sent. Various odditys were found related to slow system
response time like various events timed out, and slow console response.
