All tasks in a CPU going offline are migrated to other CPUs(finally
CPU0) and the rq is marked with offline before the CPU entering WFI
loop. So IPI is not sent to the secondary CPU.

I think you mean "way to reset CPU1". If so, the reason is an increase
in power consumption in usual hotplug. This is discussed before between
Alan Tull and you. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/25/37)
