[PATCH] ppc32: fix powersave with interrupts disabled

[Kumar Gala]

It looks like the problem has to do with entering the powersave routine 
with irqs disabled. Here is a patch that will only enter powersave if irqs 
are enabled.

Entering powersave on PPC while irqs are disabled causes a hang. Only 
enter powersave if irqs are disabled.
