Urrgh, I accidentally sent this when trying to save this to my drafts folder;
sorry for the half-finished reply.

One of the reasons that we want PSCI is that it is a standard interface across
platforms. Generally, we do not want platform-specific interfaces.

In this case, PSCI 1.0+ has SYSTEM_SUSPEND for this purpose.

If PSCI is lacking functionality that vendors want, they should speak to ARM
w.r.t. the PSCI specification -- it can be extended with new functionality as
has already happened with PSCI 0.2 and PSCI 1.0.

Thanks,
Mark.
