These look okay to me, but the CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 test for
pnv_power9_idle_init() is actually wrong, it should be a PVR test
because idle is not completely architected (not even shallow stop
states, unfortunately).

It doesn't look like we support POWER10 idle correctly yet, and on older
kernels it wouldn't work even if we fixed newer, so ideally the PVR
check would be backported as a fix in the front of the series.

Sadly, we have no OPAL idle driver yet. Hopefully we will before the
next processor shows up :P

Thanks,
Nick
