From: Yuri Norov <redacted> For nohz_full CPUs the desirable behavior is to receive interrupts generated by tick_nohz_full_kick_cpu(). But for hard isolation it's obviously not desirable because it breaks isolation. This patch adds check for it.

What does this barrier pair with? The commit message doesn't mention it, and it's not clear in-context. Thanks, Mark.
