Hmm.. The "Use generic idle loop" patches from the SMP/hotplug pull
conflicted with the "Use tick broadcast expired check" patches in this
one for both x86 and ARM.

Both sets of patches were done by Thomas, and I *really* want you guys
to take a look at my conflict resolution. I effectively moved the new
"don't go into deep idle if boradcast timer is pending" check from x86
and arm into the generic idle loop. So my merge resolution is
semantically quite different  from either branch, but the alternative
seemed to be to remove the new check entirely.

I pushed my merge out, please take a look.
