ARM64 PSCI kernel interfaces that initialize idle states and implement
the suspend API to enter them are generic and can be shared with the
ARM architecture.

To achieve that goal, this patch moves ARM64 PSCI idle management
code to drivers/firmware, so that the interface to initialize and
enter idle states can actually be shared by ARM and ARM64 arches
back-ends.

The ARM generic CPUidle implementation also requires the definition of
a cpuidle_ops section entry for the kernel to initialize the CPUidle
operations at boot based on the enable-method (ie ARM64 has the
statically initialized cpu_ops counterparts for that purpose); therefore
this patch also adds the required section entry on CONFIG_ARM for PSCI so
that the kernel can initialize the PSCI CPUidle back-end when PSCI is
the probed enable-method.

On ARM64 this patch provides no functional change.

On ARM64, it causes build breakage though:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `psci_suspend_finisher':
arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc6494): undefined reference to `cpu_resume'
arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc6498): undefined reference to `cpu_resume'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `psci_cpu_suspend_enter':
arm_pmu.c:(.text+0xc66c0): undefined reference to `cpu_suspend'

The code which has been moved looks similar.  However, when it lived
in arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c, it was protected by
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.  In its new location, there are no ifdefs
around it, and so if it gets built without CONFIG_ARM_CPU_SUSPEND on
ARM, or CONFIG_CPU_PM for ARM64, it will error out like the above.

As this is causing a regression, and I've now closed my tree, I will
be doing what I said yesterday: I'll be dropping this patch for this
merge window in order to stabilise my tree.  Sorry.

My bad, I apologise, I will likely have to add a config option to
make sure cpu_{suspend/resume} code is compiled in (on both ARM/ARM64),
thanks for spotting it.
