Re: [RFC 2/3] zImage: SMP hold

Add SMP secondary hold helper routines to the powerpc zImage

These routines can be used to hold the secondary cpus until the
kernel is ready for entry.

Could we have these functions in their own library module.  That way
they can be omitted in the wrappers for strictly-UP platforms (many
embedded), or platforms where the secondary CPUs are held in firmware
until the kernel releases.
