openrisc: sleep instead of spin on secondary wait
Currently we do a spin on secondary cpus when waiting to boot. This theoretically causes issues with power consumption and does cause issues with qemu cycle burning (it starves cpu 0 from actually being able to boot.) This change puts each secondary cpu to sleep if they have a power management unit, then signals them to wake via IPI when its time to boot. If the cpus have no power management unit they will loop as before. Note: The wakeup IPI requires a special interrupt handler as on secondary cpu's the interrupt infrastructure is not yet established. This interrupt handler is set and reset by updating SPR_EVBAR.
