The POWER8 idle code has a neat trick of programming the power on engine to restore a low bit into HSPRG0, so idle wakeup code can test and see if it has been programmed this way and therefore lost all state. Restore time can be reduced if winkle has not been reached. However this messes with our r13 PACA pointer, and requires HSPRG0 to be written to. It also optimizes the slowest and most uncommon case at the expense of another SPR write in the common nap state wakeup. Remove this complexity and assume winkle sleeps always require a state restore. This speedup could be made entirely contained within the winkle idle code by counting per-core winkles and setting a thread bitmap when all have gone to winkle. Reviewed-by: Gautham R.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
