Yes will do that, going ahead other powerpc archs can use this Kconfig.

Yes, shall use ARRAY_SIZE instead and get away with this macro.
That should work

On POWER, snooze state is an infinte busy looping state. The CPUs keep
looping around lowering their priority until they are interrupted. For
this we need to enable irqs in the snooze loop. There is no way a CPU
can come out this state if the interrupts are not enabled.

We do want to make it a module. But for now that cannot be done due to
some other dependencies. This feature needs to be built in.

Thanks for the review.
