The PSCI v1.3 specification adds support for a SYSTEM_OFF2 function
which is analogous to ACPI S4 state. This will allow hosting
environments to determine that a guest is hibernated rather than just
powered off, and ensure that they preserve the virtual environment
appropriately to allow the guest to resume safely (or bump the
hardware_signature in the FACS to trigger a clean reboot instead).
This feature is safe to enable unconditionally (in a subsequent commit)
because it is exposed to userspace through the existing
KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_SHUTDOWN event, just with an additional flag which
userspace can use to know that the instance intended hibernation instead
of a plain power-off.
As with SYSTEM_RESET2, there is only one type available (in this case
HIBERNATE_OFF), and it is not explicitly reported to userspace through
the event; userspace can get it from the registers if it cares).
