This sounds like a good idea if we could use
  if( ppc_md.powersave != NULL)
       ppc_md.powersave();

If it is determined that calling power_save() which is resides in an
arch/processor specific file then we are talking about many files being
hit.  and the current power_save seems to common for many other ppc
platforms other than 4xx & 8xx
