_PDC related stuff in processor_core.c is little bit X86/IA64 dependent,
rework the code to make it more arch-independent.

The return value of acpi_processor_eval_pdc() should be 'acpi_status' but
defined as 'int', fix it too.

Why not just define boot_options_idle_override as well. Then you can
leave the code unchanged. Also more importantly you can have override
values for ARM when it turns out you need those too and the logic will be
the same for both processor families

The arguments to _PDC are architecture specific, so there do need to be 
code changes here.
