ARM: 7848/1: mcpm: Implement cpu_kill() to synchronise on powerdown
CPU hotplug and kexec rely on smp_ops.cpu_kill(), which is supposed to wait for the CPU to park or power down, and perform the last rites (such as disabling clocks etc., where the platform doesn't do this automatically). kexec in particular is unsafe without performing this synchronisation to park secondaries. Without it, the secondaries might not be parked when kexec trashes the kernel. There is no generic way to do this synchronisation, so a new mcpm platform_ops method power_down_finish() is added by this patch. The new method is mandatory. A platform which provides no way to detect when CPUs are parked is likely broken.
