Oh sorry the intention was to not break things for your. So probably
just having a separate dra7_hs_smp_ops with no cpu_kill initialized
should do the trick for kexec.

Me failing to park cores? The current code has always assumed that
CPU1 enters a low power state for hot-unplug. And AFAIK, there's no
way to have CPU1 continue at a different address at that point
without a reset. The need for preserving CPU1 state through kexec
boot without a reset is something new that you need.

Well sounds like you have to come up with checks for when we
need to disable kexec and use dra7_hs_smp_ops with no cpu_kill.
