If PSCI initializes correctly and PSCI SMP operations are available, use them. This is required for SMP support in Dom0 on Xen.

I'd suggest you also include in your series the patch I posted earlier providing a runtime mdesc->smp_init method as well. This way the priority order would be: - If mdesc->smp_init is non null then use that. - Otherwise, if PSCI is available then use that. - Otherwise use mdesc->smp. This way, if the PSCI default has to be overriden (like in the MCPM case because it needs to wrap PSCI itself, or to cover Rob's concern) then this can be achieved at run time on a per mdesc basis.
