[GIT PULL] idle patches for Linux 3.1

[Len Brown]

Hi Linus,

please pull from: 

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6.git idle-release

A new power management driver for Moorestown
(essentially a platform idle driver).

Plus some small cpuidle cleanups that were on the list in April.

The cpuidle patches set the stage for adding p-series
support to cpuidle -- possibly by 3.2.

This will update the files shown below.

thanks!

ps. individual patches are available on linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    cpuidle: stop depending on pm_idle
    
    cpuidle users should call cpuidle_call_idle() directly
    rather than via (pm_idle)() function pointer.
    
    Architecture may choose to continue using (pm_idle)(),
    but cpuidle need not depend on it:
    
      my_arch_cpu_idle()
    	...
    	if(cpuidle_call_idle())
    		pm_idle();

    cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle
    
    When a Xen Dom0 kernel boots on a hypervisor, it gets access
    to the raw-hardware ACPI tables.  While it parses the idle tables
    for the hypervisor's beneift, it uses HLT for its own idle.
    
    Rather than have xen scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,
    have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and
    architecture default HLT will be used.

    cpuidle: create bootparam "cpuidle.off=1"
    
    useful for disabling cpuidle to fall back
    to architecture-default idle loop
    
    cpuidle drivers and governors will fail to register.
    on x86 they'll say so:
    
    intel_idle: intel_idle yielding to (null)
    ACPI: acpi_idle yielding to (null)

    mrst_pmu: driver for Intel Moorestown Power Management Unit
    
    The Moorestown (MRST) Power Management Unit (PMU) driver
    directs the SOC power states in the "Langwell" south complex (SCU).
    
    It hooks pci_platform_pm_ops[] and thus observes all PCI ".set_state"
    requests.  For devices in the SC, the pmu driver translates those
    PCI requests into the appropriate commands for the SCU.
    
    The PMU driver helps implement S0i3, a deep system idle power idle state.
    Entry into S0i3 is via cpuidle, just like regular processor c-states.
    S0i3 depends on pre-conditions including uni-processor, graphics off,
    and certain IO devices in the SC must be off.  If those pre-conditions
    are met, then the PMU allows cpuidle to enter S0i3, otherwise such requests
    are demoted, either to Atom C4 or Atom C6.
    
    This driver is based on prototype work by Bruce Flemming,
    Illyas Mansoor, Rajeev D. Muralidhar, Vishwesh M. Rudramuni,
    Hari Seshadri and Sujith Thomas.  The current driver also
    includes contributions from H. Peter Anvin, Arjan van de Ven,
    Kristen Accardi, and Yong Wang.
    
    Thanks for additional review feedback from Alan Cox and Randy Dunlap.
