No.  This is silly.  Think about it - if you don't provide a cpu_kill
then you can't support the unplug operation.  So you shouldn't even
allow the system to get anywhere near this.

So get rid of the tests for soc_smp_ops and soc_smp_ops->cpu_kill, and
just make this a simple:

	return soc_smp_ops->cpu_kill(cpu);

I'm not sure that the call to platform_cpu_kill() in ipi_cpu_stop() is
correct - platform_cpu_kill() is supposed to run on a CPU which is not
the one going down, whereas platform_cpu_die() runs on the CPU which
is going down.
