[PATCH v4 1/4] pSeries: extended_cede_processor() helper function.

[Gautham R Shenoy]

This patch provides an extended_cede_processor() helper function
which takes the cede latency hint as an argument. This hint is to be passed
on to the hypervisor to cede to the corresponding state on platforms
which support it.
