IBI ACK already sent, target think master already accepted IBI. then master
driver check TIMEOUT, 

If without run IBI thread, target's driver will wait target sent IBI. And
target wait for driver handle IBI. 

So the whole system may lock or wait for long time out.

Hardware check TIMEOUT and software send ACK is totally async.
