Some architectures have some cpus which does not support idle states.

Let the underlying low level code to return -ENOSYS when it is not
possible to set an idle state.

+static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct cpuidle_device, *cpuidle_arm_dev);

Is a per-cpu variable needed? There seems to be no per-cpu access, other
than at init.

:)

Actually it is the cpuidle framework which is using the per cpu variable.


But this is static pointer, I can see that struct cpuidle_device * being
used by cpuidle framework.

It gets stored here?

DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct cpuidle_device *, cpuidle_devices);

But we dont need to save it here, for in this file, there is no per-cpu
access, other than when the registration fails.
