If not clear, cpu can't start in the case of cpu hotpolug.
The function pseries_cpu_die() in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-cpu.c
also clears the flag.

Will support e500, but for now these code support e500mc derivative in
advance.

Supposed qoriq_cpu_die_state can be changed by platform init code
if the default value is not proper for a specific platform.

hard_irq_disable() will clear soft_enabled again. local_irq_disable()
has cleared it.

Will use hard_irq_disable() to replace these lines.

local_irq_disable();
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
__hard_irq_disable();
#endif
