On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the
[S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle.
The total PURR and SPURR ticks are already exposed via the per-cpu
sysfs files "purr" and "spurr". This patch adds support for exposing
the idle PURR and SPURR ticks via new per-cpu sysfs files named
"idle_purr" and "idle_spurr".
This patch also adds helper functions to accurately read the values of
idle_purr and idle_spurr especially from an interrupt context between
when the interrupt has occurred between the pseries_idle_prolog() and
pseries_idle_epilog(). This will ensure that the idle purr/spurr
values corresponding to the latest idle period is accounted for before
these values are read.

On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the
[S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle.
Via pseries_idle_prolog(), pseries_idle_epilog(), we track the idle
PURR ticks in the VPA variable "wait_state_cycles". This patch extends
the support to account for the idle SPURR ticks.

Currently when CPU goes idle, we take a snapshot of PURR via
pseries_idle_prolog() which is used at the CPU idle exit to compute
the idle PURR cycles via the function pseries_idle_epilog(). Thus,
the value of idle PURR cycle thus read before pseries_idle_prolog() and
after pseries_idle_epilog() is always correct.
However, if we were to read the idle PURR cycles from an interrupt
context between pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() (this
will be done in a future patch), then, the value of the idle PURR thus
read will not include the cycles spent in the most recent idle period.
Thus, in that interrupt context, we will need access to the snapshot
of the PURR before going idle, in order to compute the idle PURR
cycles for the latest idle duration.
In this patch, we save the snapshot of PURR in pseries_idle_prolog()
in a per-cpu variable, instead of on the stack, so that it can be
accessed from an interrupt context.

Currently prior to entering an idle state on a Linux Guest, the
pseries cpuidle driver implement an idle_loop_prolog() and
idle_loop_epilog() functions which ensure that idle_purr is correctly
computed, and the hypervisor is informed that the CPU cycles have been
donated.
These prolog and epilog functions are also required in the default
idle call, i.e pseries_lpar_idle(). Hence move these accessor
functions to a common header file and call them from
pseries_lpar_idle(). Since the existing header files such as
asm/processor.h have enough clutter, create a new header file
asm/idle.h. Finally rename idle_loop_prolog() and idle_loop_epilog()
to pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() as they are only
relavent for on pseries guests.
