Yes they should, I will send out a patch that does that ontop of this.
There have been cpuidle driver cleanups for powernv and pseries in this
merge window. While no change would be required in the pseries cpuidle
driver as a result of Nicolas's cleanup, we would need to add the
ppc64_runlatch_on and off functions before and after the entry into the
powernv idle states.

Thanks
