If you implement it like WFI, we do have wake-up events: Namely
interrupts.

Hmm, this looks wrong. This looks like you're respecting the power-down
state request but not resetting the CPU. What I was saying before was
that if you implement this as kvm_vcpu_block(), just like WFI, then you
need to preserve all state, ignore power-down state requests and treat
them as suspend states, implement them as WFI, and put a big fat comment
here explaining why this is architecturally valid (by referring to the
PSCI 0.2 spec) and what the semantics of doing that is.
