This series adds MCPM support for detecting when a CPU is safely powered
down, and provides an implementation for TC2.
This is sufficient to for working kexec with real power management on
TC2. To test it, you'll also need:
* CONFIG_KEXEC=y
* CONFIG_PROC_DEVICE_TREE=y
* CONFIG_MCPM=y
* CONFIG_ARCH_VEXPRESS_TC2_PM=y
* sufficiently new kexec-tools
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git
v2.0.4 worked for me)
To prevent CPUs from running off into the weeds across kexec, this
series requires Lorenzo's patch

(arm: vexpress: tc2: fix hotplug/idle/kexec race on cluster power down).
