powerpc/cpuidle: Handle power_save=off This patch makes pseries_idle_driver not to be registered when power_save=off kernel boot option is specified. The cpuidle_disable variable used here is similar to its usage on x86. If cpuidle_disable is set then sysfs entries for cpuidle framework are not created and the required drivers are not loaded.
