Cross CPU signalling based on FIQ is especially useful for kgdb since it makes stopping all the CPUs during breakpointing more robust (some of the other architectures already roundup the CPUs using NMIs).
The approach taken provides infrastructure that can be called (or not) by the driver's FIQ handler depending upon it requirements. In other words nothing is added here that prevents the driver from accessing "bare metal" performance.
