x86 halt() causes processor to go to C1 state (which is often not the

OK - then Konrad's suggestion of using "safe_halt()" here rather than
"halt()" would work for ia64.

I originally didn't want to use safe_halt() because the CPU will wake up on an unmasked HW interrupt unlike halt(). But I guess we are not supposed to get any such interrupts when we are off-lining a CPU so safe_halt() should be OK.

Thanks.
