This patch implements a back-end cpuidle driver for
powernv calling power7_nap and snooze idle states.
This can be extended by adding more idle states
in the future to the existing framework.

Other than the state table and a few minor details this looks almost
identical to the pseries driver. Can we not have a single version in
sysdev and isolate just the differences?

Hi Michael,

Yes, I was actually looking at consolidating and moving all the powerpc
cpuidle driver code to drivers/cpuidle/. sysdev also seems fine. Let me
redo and club the drivers and have a single version of the code in
sysdev for both powerpc and powernv platforms.

Thanks !
Deepthi
