Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/4] cpuidle: (powerpc) Add cpu_idle_wait() to allow
 switching of idle routines

This patch provides cpu_idle_wait() routine for the powerpc
platform which is required by the cpuidle subsystem. This
routine is requied to change the idle handler on SMP systems.
The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c
but the powerpc implementation is different.
