The cpu_die() function ends with a BUG(), and so does not return, even if a
cpu_operations::cpu_die() function that it calls erroneously returned.
We *could* mark cpu_operations::cpu_die() as noreturn, but I'd prefer that we
did not so that the compiler doesn't optimize away the BUG() which is there to
catch such erroneous returns.
That said, could we please add __noreturn to the implementation of cpu_die() in
arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c? i.e. the fixup below.
With that fixup:
