To be fair, the Intel RAR thing is pretty horrific :-( Definitely
sub-par compared to the AMD and ARM things.

Furthermore, the paper states it is a uarch feature for SPR with no
guarantee future uarchs will get it (and to be fair, I'd prefer it if
they didn't).

Furthermore, I suspect it will actually be slower than IPIs for anything
with more than 64 logical CPUs due to reduced parallelism.
