The core idle loop now takes care of it. However a few things need checking:
Invocation of cpuidle_idle_call() in pseries_lpar_idle() happened through arch_cpu_idle() and was therefore always preceded by a call to ppc64_runlatch_off(). To preserve this property now that cpuidle_idle_call() is invoked directly from core code, a call to ppc64_runlatch_off() has been added to idle_loop_prolog() in platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c.
Similarly, cpuidle_idle_call() was followed by ppc64_runlatch_off() so a call to the later has been added to idle_loop_epilog().
And since arch_cpu_idle() always made sure to re-enable IRQs if they were not enabled, this is now done in idle_loop_epilog() as well.
The above was made in order to keep the execution flow close to the original. I don't know if that was strictly necessary. Someone well aquainted with the platform details might find some room for possible optimizations.
