[RFC] cpu hotplug in powermac g5

Never mind the previous patch :) This one works much better.

Note that for software suspend, the generic cpu hotplug are not usable
because they don't re-sync timebase etc. Hence, I here only use the
generic die routines but the loop in which offline processors are is
custom, and we use the regular CPU bring-up sequence instead of just
exiting the loop.

---
This patch makes CPU hotplug work on my pm11,2. It works by reusing the
normal smp_core99_kick_cpu routine for wakeup, and introducing a new
routine that offline CPUs idle in, which is modeled after the idle loop
but has no way out (except for taking the soft reset exception triggered
by kick_cpu). This is required because the generic cpu hotplug code
doesn't completely re-initialise the CPU when bringing it online again,
which is required for software suspend.
