Re: [PATCH 18/18] powerpc/64s: move power4 idle entirely to C

Christophe asked about doing this, most of the code is still in
asm but maybe it's slightly nicer? I don't know if it's worthwhile.
Heu... I don't think I was asking for that, but why not, see later comments.

At first I was just asking to write the following in C:

+
+	.globl power4_idle_nap_return
+power4_idle_nap_return:
+	blr


In extenso, instead of the above do somewhere something like:

void power4_idle_nap_return(void)
{
}
