As an aside, initial support for the Parking Protocol is working on test systems within Red Hat at this time. Additional patches for that will be posted separately, however Parking Protocol is not the preferred option on ARMv8 (PSCI should be the default). Consequently, support for those limited number of systems doing Parking Protocol can follow after the initial support for longer term PSCI is enabled.
