Subject: [RFC][PATCH] /proc/stat idle field for idle cpus

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@...ibm.com>

The cpu idle field in the output of /proc/stat is too small for cpus
that have been idle for more than a tick. Add the architecture hook
arch_idle_time that allows to add the not accounted idle time of a
sleeping cpu without waking the cpu.

The s390 implementation of arch_idle_time uses the already existing
s390_idle_data per_cpu variable to find the sleep time of a neighboring
idle cpu.
