Hi Stephen,

We had a discussion on this particular problem on ppcdev list a few
days back and concluded that it is best not have pseries_idle
as a module.

http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--cpuidle%3A-Default-y-for-pseries-to33118294.html#a33127587

The following patch disables pseries cpuidle driver to be loaded as a
module as there are build problems reported when one is trying to do so.

arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c:35:6: error:
redefinition of 'update_smt_snooze_delay'
arch/powerpc/include/asm/system.h:230:20: note:
previous definition of 'update_smt_snooze_delay' was here
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c:175:5:
error: redefinition of 'pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu'
arch/powerpc/include/asm/system.h:231:19: note:
previous definition of 'pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu' was here

Since the above two functions
are used in core power architecture functions (store_smt_snooze_delay
at kernel/sysfs.c and smp_xics_setup_cpu at platforms/pseries/smp.c),
this requires some rework in these interactions. For now please
disable PSERIES_IDLE to be built as a module for now.
