Summary
Close #383
Motivation
Virtual IPI delivery previously allocated a generic event solely to trigger virtual IPI line synchronization. This added unnecessary event-queue traffic and coupled posted virtual IPI state to generic event handling.
This change treats virtual IPI status as posted state: the status bitmap is updated first, and the target CPU is notified through the dedicated doorbell. Generic events remain available for wakeups and other deferred work. However, from a design perspective, the generic event handling mechanism incurs non-negligible overhead, and really requires a refactor.
