-	  SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued

-	  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.

 	  To support multiple TC microthreads acting as "CPUs" within
 	  a VPE, VPE-wide interrupt mask bits must be specially manipulated
 	  during interrupt handling. To support legacy drivers and interrupt
 	  controller management code, SMTC has a "backstop" to track and
 	  if necessary restore the interrupt mask. This has some performance
