I originally reused the PSCI code in earlier versions of my hvf patch 
set, but then we realized that some functions like remote CPU reset are 
wired in a TCG specific view of the world with full target CPU register 
ownership. So if we want to actually share it, we'll need to abstract it 
up a level.

Hence I'd suggest to move it to a TCG directory for now and then later 
move it back into a generic helper if we want / need to. The code just 
simply isn't generic yet.

Or alternatively, you create a patch (set) to actually merge the 2 
implementations into a generic one again which then can live at a 
generic place :)


Alex
