The first implementation I did was based on the Linux one which is
working checking if the PSCI version if >= 0.2.

Although I changed my mind before sending the patch because I was worry
to see Xen breaking badly when booting on another version of PSCI.

Right, I will update the check.

It's just a mistake. When I first wrote the patch the check was:
PSCI_MAJOR_VERSION(psci_vers) == 0 && PSCI_MINOR_VERSION(psci_vers) < 2

Although, I was worry about allowing to many version of PSCI. I will use
your suggestion.

I will do.
