I don't see any users of the sev/wfe/wfi macros in the current kernel,
so removing them seems like a good strategy to avoid people from
using them incorrectly.
That's because they've only just been added.  See the massive 63-patch set
from Viresh which has been posting to this mailing list.
Ok, I see. At least that version seems ok because the code is cpu
specific already.

The omap do_wfi macro is specifically meant to avoid the multi-cpu
case by using the hexadecimal notation, so it can still be used while
building a kernel for ARMv6 or lower. Dave's version seems to have
the opposite intention here (choosing one version per arch level),
so it wouldn't be a replacement.
