Can we call this function as dummy_pending_ipi_clear() or
prior_stage_pending_ipi_clear(), since the it is the IPIs which does
not be clear
from prior stage bootloader and it is not a general case. It is
special case to deal with.

Also move the descriptions "On the K210, the prior stage bootloader
does not clear IPIs. This presents a problem,..."
in [PATCH v2 0/7] riscv: Correctly handle IPIs already pending upon
boot here or commit of patch [1/7].
Because it will not show in git log history any more.

With the history description, it will help to understand and readable
about the SMP enhance flow for the later joiner.

Thanks,
Rick
