[PATCH 02/12] powermac: support G5 CPU hotplug

This patch allows "hotplugging" of CPUs on G5 machines. CPUs that are
disabled are put into an idle loop with the decrementer frequency set
to minimum. To wake them up again we kick them just like when bringing
them up. To stop those CPUs from messing with any global state we stop
them from entering the timer interrupt.

This makes more sense... Thanks for pointing that out. I wonder why it
actually worked.
