It's required because you can't just return from the finisher. A normal return from the finisher will always be interpreted as an abort rather than success (because the state has to be unwound.)

You need the idmap_pgd in place to call cpu_resume at it's physical address. Other page tables just won't do here. It's well established that this page table must be in place for the resume paths to work. So yes, the comments above the function are wrong. idmap_pgd must be in place for cpu_resume() to work. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: 5.8Mbps down 500kbps up.
