That'd be fine by me. It could be selected by PM_AUTOSLEEP as well.

[ Bikeshed: maybe CONFIG_PM_CONTINUOUS_SUSPENDS would make more sense,
  to really drive home how often these suspends are to make the option a
  reasonable thing to turn on. ]

I think Christoph had in mind a runtime switch instead (like a sysctl or
something), but it doesn't make a difference to me whether it's runtime
or compile time. If CONFIG_ANDROID is to go away, the code using it now
needs *some* replacement that's taken up by the Android people. So
whatever they agree to works for me, for what my concerns are.

Maybe v2 of this patchset can propose such an option and the right
Android people can be CC'd on it. (Who are they, by the way? There's no
android-kernel@vger mailing list, right?)
