powerpc/idle: Add support for nohlt 



This patch enables config option GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP for arch
powerpc. This adds support for kernel param 'nohlt'.

Powerpc kernel also supports another kernel boot-time param called
'powersave' which can also be used to disable all cpu idle-states and
forces CPU to an idle-loop similar to what cpu_idle_poll() does. This
patch however makes powerpc kernel-parameters better aligned to the
generic boot-time parameters.
