Huh? This isn't a "new bike-shed model". This is a straight copy of
what we *already* have for SYSTEM_RESET2.

If I were bike-shedding, I wouldn't do separate caps for them; I'd have
done it as a *bitmask* of the optional PSCI calls that should be
enabled.

The *mandatory* ones should obviously come from the PSCI version alone,
but I can't see how that makes sense for the optional ones...

SYSTEM_OFF2 is an *optional* feature in PSCI v1.3. As are
CLEAR_INV_MEMREGION and CLEAR_INV_MEMREGION_ATTRIBUTES.

Are you suggesting that enabling v1.3 should automatically enable *all*
of the optional features that were defined in that version (and
previous versions) of the spec?
