The current implementation of ipi_cpu_stop() is just a tight infinite loop around cpu_relax(). Add a check for a valid cpu_die method of the appropriate cpu_operations structure, and if a valid method is found, transfer control to that method. The core kexec code calls the arch specific machine_shutdown() routine to shutdown any SMP secondary CPUs. The current implementation of the arm64 machine_shutdown() uses smp_send_stop(), which ultimately runs ipi_cpu_stop() on the secondary CPUs. The infinite loop implementation of the current ipi_cpu_stop() does not have any mechanism to get the CPU into a state compatable with a kexec re-boot.
