Subject: [v4 PATCH 1/5]: cpuidle: Cleanup drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-09-01 17:07:04]:

Cleanup drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c

Cpuidle maintains a pm_idle_old void pointer because, currently in x86
there is no clean way of registering and unregistering a idle function.

So remove pm_idle_old and leave the responsibility of maintaining the
list of registered idle loops to the architecture specific code. If the
architecture registers cpuidle_idle_call as its idle loop, only then
this loop is called.

Also remove unwanted functions cpuidle_[un]install_idle_handler,
cpuidle_kick_cpus()
