Current CPU PM code code make use of common cpu_suspend() path for all the
CPU power states which is not optimal. In fact cpu_suspend() path is needed
only when we put CPU power domain to off state where the CPU context is lost.

Update the code accordingly so that the expensive cpu_suspend() path
can be avoided for the shallow CPU power states like CPU PD INA/CSWR.

some numbers showing the benefit would be cool...

The numbers depends on CPU clock you are running generally. The main
issue is, for the shallow power states where we were not loosing
CPU context or Caches, we were doing all the book keeping. States
like INA are of 6-8 uS and above overhead is quite significant
their.

Looks OK at first glance, but are you sure this is right for the
various ways both clusters might idle using coupled CPUidle?

Some description of the testing would be helpful here.

Thanks,

Kevin

Yes it is perfectly safe from all C-states. This patch has been part of
the OMAP4/OMAP5 product port for some time. I forgot to send it upstream
some how :(

Sorry. Should have mentioned it in first place.
Patch is being tested on OMAP4430 (idle/suspend) and OMAP5 with
few out of tree patches.

OK, please update changelog with a brief description of how it was
tested, and on which platforms.

Thanks,
