Apart from the IRQ disables this code isn't really ARM specific at all
and I bet it'd be useful on a lot of other architectures.

Given the number of systems that at least start off with just a call to
cpu_do_idle() here shouldn't we have a defualt mach_cpu_idle() which
does that?  Currently the code requires the caller to provide one.

Please CC me on any iterations, I've got a S3C64xx implementation I'm
pushing which could probably use this.
