To enable NMI backtrace and KGDB's NMI cpu roundup, we need to free up at least one dedicated IPI. On arm64 the IPI_WAKEUP IPI is only used for the ACPI parking protocol, which itself is only used on some very early ARMv8 systems which couldn't implement PSCI. Remove the IPI_WAKEUP IPI, and rely on the IPI_RESCHEDULE IPI to wake CPUs from the parked state. This will cause a tiny amonut of redundant work to check the thread flags, but this is miniscule in relation to the cost of taking and handling the IPI in the first place. We can safely handle redundant IPI_RESCHEDULE IPIs, so there should be no functional impact as a result of this change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
