KVM: Don't assume that mpstate exists with in-kernel PIC always

On PPC, we don't support MP state. So far it's not necessary and I'm
not convinced yet that we really need to support it ever.

However, the current idle logic in QEMU assumes that an in-kernel PIC
also means we support MP state. This assumption is not true anymore.

Let's split up the two cases into two different variables. That way
PPC can expose an in-kernel PIC, while not implementing MP state.

"...and make KVM wait for resumption inside the kernel instead for
reporting halt to userspace." Or so.

That's why I asked for calling this helper differently: to express the
concept behind it, not the implementation detail "mpstate" (which is an
x86-caused misnomer).

The code looks good to me.

It's not exactly a misnomer. It's a concept that is required to implement the logic. I've updated the comment accordingly :).

AFAIK, the concept ("multi-processor state") was introduced for and
named after x86 properties.
