KVM: PPC: Decrease the powerpc default halt poll max value
KVM_HALT_POLL_NS_DEFAULT is an arch specific constant which sets the
default value of the halt_poll_ns kvm module parameter which determines
the global maximum halt polling interval.
The current value for powerpc is 500000 (500us) which means that any
repetitive workload with a period of less than that can drive the cpu
usage to 100% where it may have been mostly idle without halt polling.
This presents the possibility of a large increase in power usage with
a comparatively small performance benefit.
Reduce the default to 10000 (10us) and a user can tune this themselves
to set their affinity for halt polling based on the trade off between power
and performance which they are willing to make.
