From: Pratik R. Sampat <psampat@linux.ibm.com>
Introduce a mechanism to fire directed IPIs from a source CPU to a
specified target CPU and measure the time incurred on waking up the
target CPU in response.
Also, introduce a mechanism to queue a hrtimer on a specified CPU and
subsequently measure the time taken to wakeup the CPU.
Define a simple debugfs interface that allows for adjusting the
settings to trigger IPI and timer events on a designated CPU, and to
observe the resulting cpuidle wakeup latencies.

This line is now introduced in between CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 objects.
May be its better this was added such that CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 objects
are all together.
