[PATCH v4 0/6] Add PSCI v1.3 SYSTEM_OFF2 support for hibernation

(oops, missed --compose on that command line. You can have the cover
letter as a reply instead)


The PSCI v1.3 spec (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0022)
adds support for a SYSTEM_OFF2 function enabling a HIBERNATE_OFF state
which is analogous to ACPI S4. This will allow hosting environments to
determine that a guest is hibernated rather than just powered off, and
ensure that they preserve the virtual environment appropriately to
allow the guest to resume safely (or bump the hardware_signature in the
FACS to trigger a clean reboot instead).

This updates KVM to support advertising PSCI v1.3, and unconditionally
enables the SYSTEM_OFF2 support when PSCI v1.3 is enabled.

For the guest side, add a new SYS_OFF_MODE_POWER_OFF handler with higher
priority than the EFI one, but which *only* triggers when there's a
hibernation in progress. There are other ways to do this (see the commit
message for more details) but this seemed like the simplest.

Version 2 of the patch series splits out the psci.h definitions into a
separate commit (a dependency for both the guest and KVM side), and adds
definitions for the other new functions added in v1.3. It also moves the
pKVM psci-relay support to a separate commit; although in arch/arm64/kvm
that's actually about the *guest* side of SYSTEM_OFF2 (i.e. using it
from the host kernel, relayed through nVHE).

Version 3 dropped the KVM_CAP which allowed userspace to explicitly opt
in to the new feature like with SYSTEM_SUSPEND, and makes it depend only
on PSCI v1.3 being exposed to the guest.

Version 4 is no longer RFC, as the PSCI v1.3 spec is finally published.
Minor fixes from the last round of review, and an added KVM self test.
