POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary,
a) new instruction named stop is added. This instruction replaces
instructions like nap, sleep, rvwinkle.
b) new per thread SPR named Processor Stop Status and Control Register
(PSSCR) is added which controls the behavior of stop instruction.
PSSCR layout:
----------------------------------------------------------
| PLS | /// | SD | ESL | EC | PSLL | /// | TR | MTL | RL |
----------------------------------------------------------
0 4 41 42 43 44 48 54 56 60
PSSCR key fields:
Bits 0:3 - Power-Saving Level Status. This field indicates the lowest
power-saving state the thread entered since stop instruction was last
executed.
Bit 42 - Enable State Loss
0 - No state is lost irrespective of other fields
1 - Allows state loss
Bits 44:47 - Power-Saving Level Limit
This limits the power-saving level that can be entered into.
Bits 60:63 - Requested Level
Used to specify which power-saving level must be entered on executing
stop instruction
This patch adds support for stop instruction and PSSCR handling.

pnv_init_idle_states() discovers supported idle states from the
device tree and does the required initialization. Set power_save
function pointer only after this initialization is done
Otherwise on machines which don't support nap, eg. Power9, the kernel
will crash when it tries to nap.

Long ago, only in the lab, there was OPALv1 and OPALv2. Now there is
just OPALv3, with nobody ever expecting anything on pre-OPALv3 to
be cared about or supported by mainline kernels.
So, let's remove FW_FEATURE_OPALv3 and instead use FW_FEATURE_OPAL
exclusively.

Although this init call checks for device tree properties before doing
anything, it should still only run on powernv machines.

Fastsleep is one of the idle state which cpuidle subsystem currently
uses on power8 machines. In this state L2 cache is brought down to a
threshold voltage. Therefore when the core is in fastsleep, the
communication between L2 and L3 needs to be fenced. But there is a bug
in the current power8 chips surrounding this fencing.
OPAL provides a workaround which precludes the possibility of hitting
this bug. But running with this workaround applied causes checkstop
if any correctable error in L2 cache directory is detected. Hence OPAL
also provides a way to undo the workaround.
In the existing implementation, workaround is applied by the last thread
of the core entering fastsleep and undone by the first thread waking up.
But this has a performance cost. These OPAL calls account for roughly
4000 cycles everytime the core has to enter or wakeup from fastsleep.
This patch introduces a sysfs attribute (fastsleep_workaround_applyonce)
to choose the behavior of this workaround.
By default, fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 0. In this case, workaround
is applied/undone everytime the core enters/exits fastsleep.
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 1. In this case the workaround is
applied once on all the cores and never undone. This can be triggered by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/fastsleep_workaround_applyonce
For simplicity this attribute can be modified only once. Implying, once
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce is changed to 1, it cannot be reverted
to the default state.

This is a cleanup patch; doesn't change any functionality. Moves
all cpuidle related code from setup.c to a new file.
