[PATCH 08/12] ARM: OMAP2+: powerdomain: cache the powerdomain's previous power state

Cache the powerdomain previous power state registers.  The objective
here is to avoid unneeded reads from the previous power state
registers.  Reads from these registers can be extremely slow, even by
I/O device standards.  I no longer recall the exact measurements, but
my recollection was that they cost several microseconds.

The cache is invalidated as part of the powerdomain pre-transition
code, which runs shortly before WFI/WFE.
