Oops. Must have happened when I edited the mailbox. Replacement patch

Subject: NOHZ: Fix nox x86 dyntick idle handling

The cpuidle patches moved the tick nohz handling from irq_exit into
the inner idle loop. The change is correct as it covers non interrupt
based wakeups (e.g DMA) on x86 as well, but the move breaks ARM, SH
and SPARC64. 

Keep the original implementation and deselet the irq exit code for
those architectures which have no irq idle wakeups.

This way the non affected architectures are not burdened with the
extra changes in the idle implementation.
