Since last time:
- Commented machine check handler wakeup to describe why registers are
not lost.
- Dropped patch to make PACA_THREAD_IDLE_STATE POWER8-only because
Gautham will use it for POWER9 DD1.
- Removed some leftover debug cruft noticed by Gautham, and re-tested
on POWER8. Added some extra comments to hopefully try to illustrate
the idle state changes a bit better.
Needs:
- Ack from Gautham for patch 7
- Ack from Mahesh for patch 4
Thanks,
Nick
