+	  Most armv8 systems have PSCI support enabled in EL3, either through
+	  ARM Trusted Firmware or other firmware.
+
+	  On these systems, we do not need to implement system reset manually,
+	  but can instead rely on higher level firmware to deal with it.
+
+	  Select Y here to make use of PSCI calls for system reset
