Hi Ben,

I forgot to attach the patch which enables cpuidle for the rest of the
POWER platforms. Attaching it below.

So for these platforms, ppc_md.power_save will be called from from the
cpuidle_idle_call idle loop itself. Also, this cpuidle_idle_call is
not a pseries specific idle loop. It is a common loop for Intel and
PPC which use cpuidle infrastructure.

This patch enables cpuidle for the rest of the POWER platforms like
44x, Cell, Pasemi etc.
