[PATCH] ppc64: avoid speculative execution after rfid
Due to speculative execution, a CPU may execute some instructions after the rfid. This makes profiles confusing, since profiling ticks could end up in those instructions following the rfid that are never executed. Add a branch to self after each rfid to avoid this.
