Here the entrypoint, declared as a 64 bit integer, is read from
a pointer to 64bit integer but the read is done via readl_relaxed()
which is for 32bit quantities.

All the high bits will thus be lost which change the meaning
of the test against zero done later.

Fix this by using readq_relaxed() instead as it should be for
64bit quantities.

This looks correct to me, but I'd like an Ack from Lorenzo before I take
it because it's not clear to me what issues can arise if firmware only
writes zero to the bottom 32 bits of the jump address and leaves the upper
bits intact. If firmware does this, then this patch will result in a
WARN, but I can't figure out what this part of the spec is trying to
achieve.

[resending as I bungled modifying the Cc list]

This looks right per my reading of the spec. FWIW:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

It would be good if someone could test this on HW implementing the
parking protocol. I've Cc'd those who've given Tested-by in the past.

Thanks,
Mark.

Patch is correct but as Mark already mentioned I would like some testing
done on systems that rely on the parking protocol (hopefully FW clears
the entry point correctly but I want to understand if this patch would
trigger regressions that would force us to add quirks around it - even
if we know this patch does the right thing from a kernel perspective).

It is good with X-Gene 1/2.
