Revert "powerpc/64s/idle: POWER9 ESL=0 stop avoid save/restore overhead" As described in that commit: When stop is executed with EC=ESL=0, it appears to execute like a normal instruction (resuming from NIP when woken by interrupt). So all the save/restore handling can be avoided completely. This is true, except in the case of an NMI interrupt (sreset or machine check) interrupting the instruction. In that case, the NMI gets an "interrupt occurred while the processor was in power-saving mode" indication. The power-save wakeup code uses that bit to decide whether to restore some registers (e.g., LR). Because these are no longer saved, this causes random register corruption. It may be possible to restore this optimisation by detecting the case of no register loss on the wakeup side, and avoid restoring in that case, but that's not a minor fix because the wakeup code itself uses some registers that would be live (e.g., LR).
