How do you deal with pstate in this series? In particular, the single-step
state machine is partially driven by bits in the SPSR, so you need to be
careful with preserving that (may even require a dummy exception return...
not sure).

I'm concerned about simply saving/restoring the mdscr. Both the MDE and KDE
bits are ref-counted for each CPU, so we'd need to guarantee no context
switching between the CPU_PM_ENTER and CPU_PM_EXIT invocations of this
notifier. Is that the case?

I think you should do this the other way round. Also, back to PSTATE, you
need to take care when clearing the D bit, since you definitely want to
either restore or zero the mdscr first.
