Controllers that have 'HW solver' mode don't need to register? The 'do
have' is throwing me off.

I thought CPU_PM notifiers weren't supposed to be used anymore? Or at
least, the genpd work that has gone on for cpuidle could be used here in
place of CPU_PM notifiers? And so this isn't actually any different
than what was proposed originally to use genpd for this?

Why do we need to use raw_smp_processor_id()? smp_processor_id() should
work just as well?
