I'm hoping he spins a V2 on top of this patch :)

A thought... this is the kind of functionality that's ideal to get some
kind of test case written for so that we don't go and by accident break
it. So I'm CCing in Pridhiviraj so that it's on the todo list to get
going as part of op-test-framework tests.

FYI, we've moved to .rst and ReSTructured text, but it's not a big deal,
I can convert when merging if needed.

Cool - I gather the API definition has settled down a bit?

For OPAL_PARTIAL, does the "and none were delivered" also apply to
SYS_RESET_ALL_OTHERS ? I'd guess not, but we may want to be explicit.

For SYS_RESET_ALL, If we're not running on the last CPU, we would reset
ourselves before we could reset ourselves before we reset the others, right?

otherwise looks good.
