Description

Do you think add power manager support like arm's psci is a good case?
I want to try a hypervisor in qemu, I think we need a cpu boot port in hyper that can manage SMP boot and poweroff for guest OS

Research direction

Start by reading the linked ARM PSCI specification and the existing CPU boot and poweroff paths in OpenSBI. Determine how SMP boot and guest-OS power management should be exposed for a hypervisor running in QEMU; done requires an agreed design and an implemented, tested power-manager interface.
