As per the PAPR, each H_CEDE call is associated with a latency-hint to be passed in the VPA field "cede_latency_hint". The CEDE states that we were implicitly entering so far is CEDE with latency-hint = 0. This patch explicitly sets the latency hint corresponding to the CEDE state that we are currently entering. While at it, we save the previous hint, to be restored once we wakeup from CEDE. This will be required in the future when we expose extended-cede states through the cpuidle framework, where each of them will have a different cede-latency hint. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
