This patch implements a backhand cpuidle driver for pSeries
based on pseries_dedicated_idle_loop and pseries_shared_idle_loop
routines.  The driver is built only if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is set. This
cpuidle driver uses global registration of idle states and
not per-cpu.

Why "cstate" ? This isn't an x86 :-)

Shorter name please. pseries_cpuidle_devs is fine.

I notice that you call this on shared processors as well. The old ocde
used to not set donate_dedicated_cpu in that case. I assume that's not a
big deal and that the HV will just ignore it in the shared processor
case but please add a comment after you've verified it.

So your snooze loop has no timeout, is that handled by the cpuidle
driver using some kind of timer ? That sounds a lot less efficient than
passing a max delay to the snooze loop to handle getting into a deeper
state after a bit of snoozing rather than interrupting etc...

Don't even printk here, this will happen on all !pseries machines and
the debug output isn't useful. Also move the check of max-cstate to
after the splpar test.

Overall, I quite like these patches, my comments are all pretty minor,
hopefully the next round should be the one.

Cheers,
Ben.
