I should be more explicit that given my tracing configuration I would
expect to see doorbell events etc here e.g.
<idle>-0 [012] 46133.602086: doorbell_entry: pt_regs=0xc000000200e7fb50
<idle>-0 [012] 46133.602087: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed: (c0000000000530f8)
<idle>-0 [012] 46133.602088: scheduler_ipi: (c00000000015e4f8)
<idle>-0 [012] 46133.602091: sched_wakeup: cpuhp/12:70 [120] success=1 CPU:012
<idle>-0 [012] 46133.602092: sched_wakeup: migration/12:71 [0] success=1 CPU:012
<idle>-0 [012] 46133.602093: doorbell_exit: pt_regs=0xc000000200e7fb50
but instead cpu 12 goes to idle.
