Thanks for working on these patches. We really need to get this stuff
merged and tested asap :)

Can you put these details into pnv_cpu_offline? Possibly even from there
into another special SPR save function? E.g.,

  pnv_save_sprs_for_deep_state_decrementer_wakeup(bool decrementer_wakeup)

I'd like to put the LPCR manipulation for idle wake settings into idle.c
as well (pnv_cpu_offline), I think it fits better in there.

Thanks,
Nick
