OK, let's see if I can make this acceptable to you.
Would you agree on a patch that moves virt_smp_ops out of mach-virt and
renames them to psci_smp_ops (maybe to arch/arm/kernel/psci_smp_ops.c)?
Would you agree on initializing psci from setup_arch, right after the
call to arm_dt_init_cpu_maps()?
Finally the most controversial point: would you agree on using
psci_smp_ops by default if they are available?
If not, would you at least agree on letting Xen overwrite the default
machine smp_ops?
We need one or the other for dom0 support.
