The code itself looks sane to me, though the commit message would be
better with Russell's suggested rewording.
This will also conflict with my migration to a common PSCI client
implementation [1,2] (especially given the absence of virt_to_idmap on
arm64), but I'm happy to fold it in or rebase atop of it.
Russell, are you able to take a look at the migration patch [2]? How
would you prefer for the two patches to be taken?
Thanks,
Mark.
