ARM and ARM64 are the only two architectures implementing
arch_cpu_idle_prepare() simply to call local_fiq_enable().

We have secondary_start_kernel() already calling local_fiq_enable() and
this is done a second time in arch_cpu_idle_prepare() in that case. And
enabling FIQs has nothing to do with idling the CPU to start with.

So let's introduce init_fiq_boot_cpu() to take care of FIQs on the boot
CPU and remove arch_cpu_idle_prepare(). This is now done a bit earlier
at late_initcall time but this shouldn't make a difference in practice
given that FIQs are not currently used on ARM64.

For arm64, we could simply remove any reference to FIQs. I'm not aware
of anyone using them.

OK. What if I sumply remove arch_cpu_idle_prepare() and let you do the 
remove the rest?

IMHO I'd simply remove local_fiq_{enable/disable}() from 
arm64/kernel/smp.c and leave the infrastructure in place in case someone 
needs it eventually.  In which case I could include that into my patch 
as well.

Sounds good. We can keep the local_fiq_*() functions but remove about 4
calling sites (process.c and smp.c) until needed.

Thanks.
