There is no need to move all the assembly into a separate file, just
to add this function. Everything can be inlined as a naked function.
The "instr_sync" macro can be replaced with "isb", which is what it
expands to anyway.

I really want to keep everything self-contained without global symbols,
and in C files if possible.

You should check the enable-method to see if PSCI is set or not,
as an indicator whether the kernel is booted secure or non-secure.
AFAIK trying to set CNTVOFF under non-secure would be very bad.
