I think we do... on platforms where cpuidle uses psci to temporarily turn
off cores that aren't in use, we lose the el2 state. This hotplug hook
restores the state, even if there a no vms running.
This patch prevents me from running vms on such a platform, qemu gives:

Suberror: 0
kvmtool goes with a more dramatic:

Disabling CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE solves this problem.
(Sorry to revive an old thread - I've been using v4 of this patch for the
hibernate/suspend-to-disk series).

What was the reason not to use kvm_call_hyp(__kvm_hyp_reset, ...)?
(You mentioned you wanted to at [0] - I can't find the details in the archive)
