MIPS: Annotate cpu_wait implementations with __cpuidle
Annotate cpu_wait implementations using the __cpuidle macro which
places these functions in the .cpuidle.text section. This allows
cpu_in_idle() to return true for PC values which fall within these
functions, allowing nmi_backtrace() to produce cleaner output for CPUs
running idle functions. For example:

  # echo l >/proc/sysrq-trigger

  [   38.737449] NMI backtrace for cpu 2 skipped: idling at r4k_wait_irqoff+0x2c/0x34

Without this we get register value & backtrace output from all CPUs,
which is generally useless for those running the idle function & serves
only to overwhelm & obfuscate the meaningful output from non-idle CPUs.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
