Implement the full dynticks kick that is performed from IPIs sent by various subsystems (scheduler, posix timers, ...) when they want to notify about a new event that may reconsider the dependency on the tick.
Most of the time, such an event end up restarting the tick. (Part of the design with subsystems providing *_can_stop_tick() helpers suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago).
