[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] cell: use ppc_md->power_save instead of cbe_idle_loop

This moves the cell idle function to use the default cpu_idle
with a special power_save callback, like all other platforms
except iSeries already do.

It also makes it possible to disable this power_save function
with a new powerpc-specific boot option "powersave=off".

ok, good point.

How about this then?
