On PowerNV platforms, firmware provides exit latency and target residency for each of the idle states in nano seconds. Cpuidle framework expects the values in micro seconds. Round up to nearest micro seconds to avoid errors in cases where the values are defined as fractional micro seconds.
Default idle state of 'snooze' has exit latency of zero. If other states have fractional micro second exit latency, they would get rounded down to zero micro second and make cpuidle framework choose deeper idle state when snooze loop is the right choice.
