[PATCH v3 1/3] pSeries: cede latency specifier helper function.

From: Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch provides helper functions to set the cede latency specifier
value in the VPA indicating the latency expectation of the guest OS to
inform the hypervisor's choice of the platform dependent energy saving
mode chosen for the processor when unused during the subsequent
H_CEDE hypercall.
