The current implementation of ipi_cpu_stop() is just a tight infinite loop around cpu_relax(). This infinite loop implementation is OK if the machine will soon do a poweroff, but it doesn't have any mechanism to allow a CPU to be brought back on-line, nor is it compatible with kexec re-boot. Add a check for a valid cpu_die method of the appropriate cpu_ops structure, and if a valid method is found, transfer control to that method. It is expected that the cpu_die method puts the CPU into a state such that they can be brought back on-line or progress through a kexec re-boot.
