The first 9 patches are a bunch of independent small cleanups
and improvements I've collected. The next 4 are improvements to
POWER9 idle state entry and exit. They significantly change how
we enter idle, now in virtual mode and without ptesync. EC=0 idle
is significantly simplified from there, and does not save anything.

This runs fine on a DD1 test machine, but the hardware has some
problem with performance all over the place, so I'm not able to get
anything meaningful there yet.

Thanks,
Nick
