[PATCH 0/2] PSCI system off and reset for KVM ARM/ARM64

The Power State and Coordination Interface (PSCI) specification defines
SYSTEM_OFF and SYSTEM_RESET functions for system poweroff and reboot.
This patchset adds emulation of PSCI SYSTEM_OFF and SYSTEM_RESET functions
in KVM ARM/ARM64 by forwarding them to user space (QEMU or KVMTOOL) using
KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN and KVM_EXIT_RESET exit reasons.
To try this patch from guest kernel, we will need PSCI-based restart and
poweroff support in the guest kenel for both ARM and ARM64.
Rob Herring has already submitted patches for PSCI-based restart and
poweroff in ARM kernel but these are not merged yet due unstable device
tree bindings of kernel PSCI support. We will be having similar patches
for PSCI-based restart and poweroff in ARM64 kernel.
