My preference would be to not introduce things that result in
different behaviours for drivers, specially for things that are
evidently cross-architecture such as USB drivers (which seems to be
the case here).

I'd rather do something that allows these to be handled in the right
context such as a self-IPI. This would certainly work for the GIC. No
idea whether this is valid for x86, which is the other user.

Thanks,
