The core idle loop now takes care of it.  However a few things need
checking:

- Invocation of cpuidle_idle_call() in pseries_lpar_idle() happened
   through arch_cpu_idle() and was therefore always preceded by a call
   to ppc64_runlatch_off().  To preserve this property now that
   cpuidle_idle_call() is invoked directly from core code, a call to
   ppc64_runlatch_off() has been added to idle_loop_prolog() in
   platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c.

- Similarly, cpuidle_idle_call() was followed by ppc64_runlatch_off()
   so a call to the later has been added to idle_loop_epilog().

- And since arch_cpu_idle() always made sure to re-enable IRQs if they
   were not enabled, this is now
   done in idle_loop_epilog() as well.

The above was made in order to keep the execution flow close to the
original.  I don't know if that was strictly necessary. Someone well
aquainted with the platform details might find some room for possible
optimizations.
