Doesn't build for me.

  arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/suspend.c:29:36: fatal error: ../../kernel/cacheinfo.h: No such file or directory
  #include "../../kernel/cacheinfo.h"

Anshuman must have worked around that somehow to test it previously?

Removing the include doesn't fix it, it needs cacheinfo_cpu_on/offline().

cheers
