Add idle wait support for 44x platforms

This patch adds the ability for the CPU to go into wait state while in cpu_idle loop. This helps virtulization solutions know when the guest Linux kernel is in an idle state. There are two ways to do it.

1) Command line
	idle=spin <-- CPU will spin (this is the default)
	idle=wait <-- set CPU into wait state when idle

2) The device tree will be checked for the "/hypervisor" node
   If this node is seen it will use "wait" for idle, so that
   the hypervisor can know when guest Linux kernel it is in
   an idle state.

This patch, unlike the last, isolates the code to 44x platforms.
