It's no need to trigger IPI for keeping pipeline fresh in bpf case.
This needs a more concrete explanation/analysis on "why it is safe" to do so
rather than just saying that it is not needed.
Agreed. You need to show how the executing thread ends up going through a
context synchronizing operation before jumping to the generated code if
the IPI here is removed.
