It depends on how you think of IPIs in your architecture.
arm64 (and even now 32bit) have been moved to a mode where IPIs are
normal interrupts, as it helps with other things such as our pseudo
NMIs, and reduces code duplication. MIPS has done the same for a long
time (they don't have dedicated HW for that).
