Subject: [PATCH 3.11 162/198] powerpc: Don't skip ePAPR spin-table CPUs

3.11.10.13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Scott Wood <scottwood@...escale.com>

commit 6663a4fa6711050036562ddfd2086edf735fae21 upstream.

Commit 59a53afe70fd530040bdc69581f03d880157f15a "powerpc: Don't setup
CPUs with bad status" broke ePAPR SMP booting.  ePAPR says that CPUs
that aren't presently running shall have status of disabled, with
enable-method being used to determine whether the CPU can be enabled.

Fix by checking for spin-table, which is currently the only supported
enable-method.
