Hi everyone,

This small series is preparatory work for a series that I'm working on
which attempts to establish a formal framework for system restart and
power off.

Guenter has done a lot of good work in this area, but it never got
merged. I think this set is a valuable addition to the kernel because
it converts all odd providers to the established mechanism for restart.

Since this is stretched across both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM, as well as
PSCI, and given the SoC/board level of functionality, I think it might
make sense to take this through the ARM SoC tree in order to simplify
the interdependencies. But it should also be possible to take patches
1-4 via their respective trees this cycle and patches 5-6 through the
ARM and arm64 trees for the next cycle, if that's preferred.


We tried this twice now, and it seems to go nowhere. What does it take
to get it applied ?

Can you send a pull request to soc@xxxxxxxxxx after the merge window,
with everyone else on Cc? If nobody objects, I'll merge it through
the soc tree.


Sure, I'll rebase and do that.

Thanks,
Guenter
