Nice!

I was going to comment that this would look nicer using an error code or
0, rather than 0 or 1, but I see that would make the call sites more
complicated / less legible.

I suspect we'll use this on arm64 in future, where we might need this
even on UP systems (for PSCI's cpu_suspend method). However, I think
that can change that as and when we require it.
