As I said before, I don't agree with bolting these two interfaces together
like this and, as it stands, I'm afraid I have to NAK this patch.
A potential alternative is to have a set of virt_smp_ops, which have
wrappers around the psci functions, but that requires agreement from Xen and
KVM to implement the same PSCI interface, which feels unfair to me.
I see what you're trying to do, but I can't go along with it. Sorry.
Will
