From: Cong Wang <[email protected]>

This patch adds a dedicated IPI vector (0xea) for multikernel
communication, enabling different kernel instances running on
separate CPUs to send interrupts to each other.

The implementation includes:

- MULTIKERNEL_VECTOR definition at interrupt vector 0xea
- IDT entry declaration and registration for sysvec_multikernel
- Interrupt handler sysvec_multikernel() with proper APIC EOI
  and IRQ statistics tracking
- Placeholder generic_multikernel_interrupt() function for
  extensible multikernel interrupt handling

This vector provides the foundational interrupt mechanism required
for implementing inter-kernel communication protocols in multikernel
environments, where heterogeneous kernel instances coordinate while
maintaining CPU-level isolation.
