Avoid adding unnecessary dummy implementations of functions and
variables that will never be used on ARM64 and also looks ugly IMO. 
E.g.:	arch_safe_halt
	boot_option_idle_override
	IDLE_NOMWAIT
	acpi_unlazy_tlb
	acpi_processor_cstate_check
	disabled_by_idle_boot_param and more...

NO, it doesn't even add a kB of code I believe, so that's definitely not
the reason. I am fine to retain if we can find a saner way to solve the
above issue.
