What is the rationale for keeping it in C files (beside the global
symbols)? Because the syntax is quite ugly, and it's much easier to
read, review and amend using a separate file.

It's an indicator, but it's not really a perfect one. You could very
well have your kernel booted in non-secure, without PSCI. Or even with
PSCI, but without the SMP ops.

We have a quite big number of these cases already, where, depending on
the configuration, we might not have access to the device we write to,
the number of hacks to just enable that device for non-secure is a
good example of that.

Just like any other access we do :/
