+ SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued
+ if the target TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first
+ SMTC prototypes, these queued IPIs were serviced on return
+ to user mode, or on entry into the kernel idle loop. The
+ INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of local_irq_restore()
+ processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the option to turn
+ it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even under
+ heavy I/O interrupt load.
