    kvm tools: arm: add support for PSCI firmware in place of spin-tables · 61076240

    ARM has recently published a document describing a firmware interface
    for CPU power management, which can be used for booting secondary cores
    on an SMP platform, amongst other things. As part of the mach-virt
    upstreaming for the kernel (that is, the virtual platform targetted by
    kvmtool), it was suggested that we use this interface instead of the
    current spin-table based approach.
    
    This patch implements PSCI support in kvmtool for ARM, removing a fair
    amount of code in the process.
