We do not support direct exchange of IPIs (SGIs on ARM) between cells but rather model this case via ivshmem devices. That is the official answer. If there should be some valid hacking reason for actually messing with the core: gic_handle_sgir_write does the filtering, specifically the code blow "/* Route to target CPUs in cell */".
