Snooze state is an idle state where cpu executes an infinite loop by
reducing the priority of the thread and the idle cpu can come out of it
only if need_resched is set or in case the cpu is offlined. In order to
continue executing this loop to remain in this idle state, we need the
check just to be safe.

Yes, a lot of code here is there in pseries cpuidle driver. I am
re-factoring that aspect so that we can use one back-end driver for both
pseries and powernv. I will post it out soon.

Moving the hotplug handler to cpuidle can be done as a separate feature.
This needs change in all the other archs that use cpuidle and  change in
the framework itself.

Going forward, having a single driver for powernv and pseries, I would
like to have two separate cpuidle state table for each arch. And both
would have their idle states and corresponding routines. Combining
different arch idle routines into one table and enabling/disabling them
would be quite confusing.

Thanks for the pointer. I will look into this.
