[PATCH/RFT 0/12] step towards removal of mach/system.h

In the spirit of eventually being able to boot a single zImage on multiple
SOCs, we need to get rid of mach/system.h.  This file mainly contains two
inline functions that should be out-of-line and assigned to the existing global
hooks at run time.  Those functions are arch_idle() and arch_reset().  The
following series only address the former.

This is a RFC and RFT patch series.  This was not compiled even less tested
yet, but I'm posting it now in the hope that people could help fixing/testing
this on the platform they have access to, or even improve upon this initial
draft patches.

The same thing needs to be done with arch_reset(), however there is no existing
global reset hook yet, only arm_pm_restart which may be used but implies a bit
more than arch_reset() does.
