The core idle loop now takes care of it.

What about creating arch_cpu_idle_enter() and arch_cpu_idle_exit() in 
arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c and calling ppc64_runlatch_off() and 
ppc64_runlatch_on() respectively from there instead?  Would that work?  
That would make the idle consolidation much easier afterwards.
