Created this patch based on Nathan's posting 
(http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2006-July/024451.html). If OK, 
please send it to upstream.

Thanks
Haren

Noticing the following might_sleep warning (dump_stack()) during kdump 
testing when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP is enabled. All secondary CPUs 
will be calling rtas_set_indicator with interrupts disabled to remove 
them from global interrupt queue.
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at 
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:463
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():1

To fix this issue, rtas_set_indicator_fast() is added so that will not 
wait for RTAS 'busy' delay and this new function is used for kdump (in 
xics_teardown_cpu()) and for CPU hotplug ( xics_migrate_irqs_away()).
