[PATCH] ppc64: clean up idle loop code
Clean up our idle loop code: - Remove a bunch of useless includes and make most functions static - There were places where we werent disabling interrupts before checking need_resched then calling the hypervisor to sleep our thread. We might race with an IPI and end up missing a reschedule. Disable interrupts around these regions to make them safe. - We forgot to turn off the polling flag when exiting the dedicated_idle idle loop. This could have resulted in all manner problems as other cpus would avoid sending IPIs to force reschedules. - Add a missing check for cpu_is_offline in the shared cpu idle loop.
