If we rely on it from the start it's more likely that it will actually get implemented, and it will highlight any dodgy PSCI 0.2 implementations while there's a chance they can be fixed.
Although I sent v1 of this patch, I haven't forgotten about this part. Had a go at it, but it turned out quite messy for ARM32. I was trying to get cpu_kill via smp_ops. I'll revisit this again hopefully tomorrow and see if there's anything better.
