[PATCH 1/4]: CPUIDLE/POWER: Enable cpuidle for pSeries.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun at linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-08-27 17:19:08]:

This patch enables the cpuidle option in Kconfig for pSeries.

Currently cpuidle infrastructure is enabled only for x86 and ARM.
This code is almost completely borrowed from x86 to enable
cpuidle for pSeries.
