Not sure which particular CPUs are going to implement this (whould be
nice to add this info to the blurb) but this matches Intel doc
(https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/download/intel-architecture-instruction-set-extensions-programming-reference.html)
and "IPI virtualization support for VM" series for KVM, so
