So currently PSCI CPU_OFF is not implemented at all?

Is there any reason not to enter the kernel at EL2?

PSCI 0.2 mandates entering at EL2 if present (and not under a
hypervisor), and it gives the kernel a lot more flexibility to fix
things up (and there's less for FW to restore) even when a hypervisor is
not in use.

Implementing all that to EL2 is _simpler_ than implementing it to EL1.
The kernel will restore what it needs to.

Thanks,
Mark.
