I will re-start a thread with the full patch and with both lkml and
linux-omap in Cc.

Indeed that is the idea to sync up all power events. Other new events
will follow shortly, e.g. low power transitions latency profiling etc.

Wrt the tools, I would be glad to contribute to the tools. I already
have local patches to pytimechart. Other tools like powertop,
cpufrequtils can be patched as well.

Thanks,
