No cast from void* needed.

It's regrettable that we have to wake up potentially idle CPUs in order
to derive correct idle statistics for them, but I suppose the main user
(lparstat) of these interfaces already is causing this to happen by
polling the existing per-cpu purr and spurr attributes.

So now lparstat will incur at minimum four syscalls and four IPIs per
CPU per polling interval -- one for each of purr, spurr, idle_purr and
idle_spurr. Correct?

At some point it's going to make sense to batch sampling of remote CPUs'
SPRs.

The cpu register/unregister stuff here looks correct.
