It was a host bug triggered by a bug in kvm-unit-tests. The kvm-unit-tests bug
is a real bug because it goes against the intent of the psci test. It wasn't
discovered until now because with the upstream version of Linux we don't get any
messages about it. I'll post a patch for it as soon as I can and we can discuss
how we want to fix it :)

Thanks,
Alex
