ARM: Check if a CPU has gone offline
PSCIv0.2 adds a new function called AFFINITY_INFO, which can be used to query if a specified CPU has actually gone offline. Calling this function via cpu_kill ensures that a CPU has quiesced after a call to cpu_die. This helps prevent the CPU from doing arbitrary bad things when data or instructions are clobbered (as happens with kexec) in the window between a CPU announcing that it is dead and said CPU leaving the kernel.
