[RFC V2 PATCH 4/6] cpuidle/ppc: Add longnap state to the idlestates on powernv

From: Preeti U Murthy
Date: Wed Aug 14 2013 - 07:59:14 EST


This patch hooks into the existing broadcast framework along with the support
that this patchset introduces for ppc, and the cpuidle driver backend
for powernv(posted out by Deepthi Dharwar:https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/23/128)
to add sleep state as one of the deep idle states, in which the decrementer
is switched off.

However in this patch, we only emulate sleep by going into a state which does
a nap with the decrementer interrupts disabled, termed as longnap. This enables
focus on the timer broadcast framework for ppc in this series of patches ,
which is required as a first step to enable sleep on ppc.
