The runlatch bits with their value indicated by CTRL_RUNLATCH are set and
cleared in the SPRN_CTRL registers to indicate a busy and idle cpu
respectively. This is currently being done in the cpuidle path of the host.
But needs to be taken care of in hotplug and kvm scenarios. This patchset
is aimed at ensuring that the runlatch bits are consisten with the
utilization of a CPU under all circumstances.
