[v2 PATCH 1/2]: pseries: Enable cpuidle for pSeries.

[Arun R Bharadwaj]

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [2009-08-26 16:37:21]:

This patch enables the cpuidle option in Kconfig for pSeries.

Currently cpuidle infrastructure is enabled only for x86.
This code is almost completely borrowed from x86 to enable
cpuidle for pSeries.
