parisc: qemu idle sleep support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add qemu idle sleep support when running under qemu with SeaBIOS PDC
firmware.

Like the power architecture we use the "or" assembler instructions,
which translate to nops on real hardware, to indicate that qemu shall
idle sleep.
