This seems unnecessarily convoluted. How about:

GET_PACA(r13)
clrldi r5,r13,63
clrrdi r13,r13,1
cmpwi cr4,r5,1
mtspr SPRN_HSPRG0,r13

Why only PMC5 and PMC6 out of all the PMU registers? What about
PMC1-PMC4 and the MMCR registers? I assume they're lost during winkle
state also, aren't they? If we're not saving them, what's the point
of saving and restoring PMC5 and PMC6?

What do "10" and "01" mean in this comment? (If they were CR field
values in binary they would need to be 3 or 4 bits, not 2.)
