Oliver Upton bfbab44568 KVM: arm64: Implement PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND
ARM DEN0022D.b 5.19 "SYSTEM_SUSPEND" describes a PSCI call that allows
software to request that a system be placed in the deepest possible
low-power state. Effectively, software can use this to suspend itself to
RAM.

Unfortunately, there really is no good way to implement a system-wide
PSCI call in KVM. Any precondition checks done in the kernel will need
to be repeated by userspace since there is no good way to protect a
critical section that spans an exit to userspace. SYSTEM_RESET and
SYSTEM_OFF are equally plagued by this issue, although no users have
seemingly cared for the relatively long time these calls have been
supported.

The solution is to just make the whole implementation userspace's
problem. Introduce a new system event, KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_SUSPEND, that
indicates to userspace a calling vCPU has invoked PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND.
Additionally, add a CAP to get buy-in from userspace for this new exit
type.

Only advertise the SYSTEM_SUSPEND PSCI call if userspace has opted in.
If a vCPU calls SYSTEM_SUSPEND, punt straight to userspace. Provide
explicit documentation of userspace's responsibilites for the exit and
point to the PSCI specification to describe the actual PSCI call.
