The call to cpu_die() seems to be missing. And considering this commit,

commit a7c2bb8279d20d853e43c34584eaf2b039de8026

powerpc: Re-enable preemption before cpu_die()

we need to call it with preempt enabled. So how about folding the
following diff with this patch?


diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c
