Modified Files:
        syssrc/sys/arch/arm/arm: cpufunc.c
        syssrc/sys/arch/arm/arm32: arm32_machdep.c cpuswitch.S
        syssrc/sys/arch/arm/include: cpu.h

Log Message:
* Add a new machdep.powersave sysctl, which controls the use of
  the CPU's "sleep" function in the idle loop.
* Default all CPUs to not use powersave, except for the PDA processors
  (SA11x0 and PXA2x0).

This significantly reduces inteterrupt latency in high-performance
applications (and was good to squeeze another ~10% out of an XScale
IOP on a Gig-E benchmark).
