* Arun R Bharadwaj <[email protected]> [2010-04-15 16:30:46]:
This patch enables default_idle when power_save=off kernel boot
option is specified.
Earlier, this was done by setting ppc_md.power_save = NULL and hence
HMT_low() and HMT_very_low() was called. Now this is defined under
default_idle() and hence by setting boot_option_idle_override = 1,
the cpuidle registration stuff does not happen and hence default_idle
is chosen in cpuidle_idle_call.
