OK for me.
it is too complicated for 3.6.

How to explain the correct, could you give some clues.
correctness for rebinding and the flags: comments is missing. (old code miss it too, so I forgot it)
correctness for idle management: list_del_init() and list_add(), I don't like to add comment for slef-explain-code.
correctness for quick-enabled-CMWQ, local-wake-up: comments is in the changelog. (I should also add it to the code)
correctness for integrating of above: ..
