NAK!
HS variants can have aux cores disabled, we are already doing it right
now, this is another hack to avoid having to fix kexec.
You are failing to park cores correctly, so instead of fixing that you
hack around it on non-HS devices by hard-resetting those cores, now
because you can't do that hack on HS devices you suggest we disable
hotplug on HS devices altogether!?
Kexec *does* work on HS devices. It only fails if we fail to park a core
correctly, something that should never happen, the check here must be
for that, unconditionally disabling Kexec for all HS devices is not a
valid option.
