Maybe we should then use legacy SMP bringup method (code in kernel)
rather than PSCI?


I guess it all depends on the answer to Marc's question. If
virtualization doesn't work, then we don't have any incentive anymore
to use PSCI and that would be a sensible option, yes.


I remember non-secure is a dependency for virtualization (HYP mode).

So if we do not do the workaround on GIC, we won't have stable
non-secure, then we won't have HYP mode, then we can drop PSCI.

I think you got it the other way around.

If virtualization doesn't work, despite the workaround, then there's
no need for it, and we can just do legacy SMP.

I tried `qemu-system-arm -enable-kvm` on A83T with this patchset and
Chen-Yu's GIC workaround patchset, and *FAILED*.

The workaround patchset in fact slightly broke vGIC code by changing
a macro name -- it's easy to fix.

However, it seems that with this fixed the KVM cannot still work --
I tried to start a virtual machine, but it silently fails (no kernel
log are shown when the VM starting fails).

So, at least this workaround cannot let virtualization work.
