I've renamed old_cpu_id to cur_cpu_id and old_mask to cur_target_mask.
Also added a comment later on.

I've added a comment right before this loop explaining what is being 
done, mentioning why it starts at 8.

PPIs are strictly processor private and I don't think there is any way 
for one processor to set them on another processor.  So the only way to 
cope with those is for the outbound CPU to save and disable its PPI 
state, and let the inbound CPU enable them.  That should be up to each 
PPI-using driver to do via the cpu_pm_enter()/cpu_pm_exit() notifiers.

I've amended the patch with the following:
