This particular change above can go as an independent patch.

Any particular reason why you swapped the roles of r5 and r7 ?

With this patch, r5 which is the third parameter to
power_powersave_common contains the return address that needs to be
written to SRR0. So here I'm keeping r5 unaltered and using r7 for the MSR.
