[v6 PATCH 5/7]: pSeries/cpuidle: remove dedicate/shared idle loops, which will be moved to arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun at linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-09-22 16:55:27]:

This patch removes the routines, pseries_shared_idle_sleep and
pseries_dedicated_idle_sleep, since this is implemented as a part
of arch/powerpc/platform/pseries/processor_idle.c

Also, similar to x86, call cpuidle_idle_call from cpu_idle() idle
loop instead of ppc_md.power_save.
