THis code is no longer anyhow relevant to the latest take of PowerOP. Please 
check to make sure that you are looking at the very latest PowerOP code 
submitted for discussion. Latest PowerOP take gets rid of all parsing. Latest 
patches do not contain x86 patch yet but omap PM core reference code is 
supplied.  So please use  omap code for the discussion. FYI, forward porting of 
x86 patches to the latest POwerOP is on the way.
