The secondary threads should enter deep idle states so as to gain maximum powersavings when the entire core is offline. To do so the offline path must be made aware of the available deepest idle state. Hence probe the device tree for the possible idle states in powernv core code and expose the deepest idle state through flags. Since the device tree is probed by the cpuidle driver as well, move the parameters required to discover the idle states into an appropriate common place to both the driver and the powernv core code. Another point is that fastsleep idle state may require workarounds in the kernel to function properly. This workaround is introduced in the subsequent patches. However neither the cpuidle driver or the hotplug path need be bothered about this workaround. They will be taken care of by the core powernv code. Originally-by: Srivatsa S.
