ipi_nmi_setup() may be called twice for CPU0:

  set_smp_ipi_range => set_smp_ipi_nmi => ipi_nmi_setup
                    => ipi_setup => ipi_nmi_setup

Actually, I got the following error message via the second ipi_nmi_setup():

  GICv3: Pseudo-NMIs enabled using relaxed ICC_PMR_EL1 synchronisation
  GICv3: Cannot set NMI property of enabled IRQ 8
  genirq: Failed to setup NMI delivery: irq 8

Why don't we have a check to prevent that? Like as:

       if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, ipi_desc->percpu_enabled))
               return;

It would be better to use IRQ_TYPE_NONE instead of 0.

			enable_percpu_nmi(ipi_id, IRQ_TYPE_NONE);

Same as here:
		enable_percpu_irq(ipi_id, IRQ_TYPE_NONE);
