Hi Daniel,

Please see my comments inline.

This won't work with multiplatform.

Could we get rid of those global variables? I know that they won't break 
anything, but they don't look good. A driver data struct would look much 
better.

Name of this function could be more meaningful. Something like 
exynos_cpu_enter_lpm() could be better. Same goes for the argument. 
Maybe it could be simply called enter_aftr?

Hmm, wouldn't a real error code be better here?

nit: A macro could be used for 3.

Is this a reliable behavior? I mean, is this part of some specification 
or rather a feature specific to a particular Android bootloader this was 
used with in original kernel tree?

Resume address is quite a specific "something non-zero". :)

Checkpatch would probably complain about missing comment on why dsb() is 
needed here (or I'm confusing this with other barriers).

nit: Here again 3 could be replaced with a macro.

Same comment about the assumption about BOOT_VECTOR changing to 0 as above.

Hmm, platsmp code seems to be using an IPI to do this. Again, I wonder 
if this isn't a behavior implemented only in some specific Android 
bootloader.

Why this is being written here, instead of some of the low level 
functions above?

Otherwise, I quite like the whole idea. I need to play a bit with CPU 
hotplug and PMU to verify that things couldn't really be simplified a 
bit, but in general this looks reasonably.

Best regards,
Tomasz
