The processor stop status and control register (PSSCR) is used to
control the power saving facilities of the thread. The exit criterion
bit (EC) is used to specify whether the thread should be woken by any
interrupt (EC == 0) or only an interrupt enabled in the LPCR to wake the
thread (EC == 1).
The rtas facilities start-cpu and self-stop are used to transition a
vcpu between the stopped and running states. When a vcpu is stopped it
may only be started again by the start-cpu rtas call.
Currently a vcpu in the stopped state will start again whenever an
interrupt comes along due to PSSCR_EC being cleared, and while this is
architecturally correct for a hardware thread, a vcpu is expected to
only be woken by calling start-cpu. This means when performing a reboot
on a tcg machine that the secondary threads will restart while the
primary is still in slof, this is unsupported and causes call traces

To fix this, set the PSSCR_EC bit when a vcpu is stopped to disable it
from coming back online until the start-cpu rtas call is made.
