Hi,
These are a couple of improvements to powernv/opal boot and
shutdown paths. Also a patch to move smp_send_stop over to
use NMI IPIs, which gives us a significantly better chance to
stop secondaries on platforms which support it (pSeries and
PowerNV POWER9 so far).
Patch 1 in particular it would be good if people could take
a look at. I *think* it's okay wrt kexec, but I could miss
something or some old firmware might do the wrong thing.
Thanks,
Nick
