[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/5] xen: ARM: suspend the tick (if in use) when going idle.

[Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since commit 964fae8ac ("cpuidle: suspend/resume scheduler
tick timer during cpu idle state entry/exit"), if a scheduler
has a periodic tick timer, we stop it when going idle.

This, however, is only true for x86. Make it true for ARM as
well.
