Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] Idle notifier standardization (v2)
Move idle notifiers into arch-agnostic code. Adapt x86 64 accordingly to call
the new architecture-agnostic notifiers rather than its own.
The architectures implementing the idle notifier define the config option:
CONFIG_HAVE_IDLE_NOTIFIER
Changelog since v1:
* Add CONFIG_HAVE_IDLE_NOTIFIER.
This is needed by the generic ring buffer. It needs to let the system sleep if
there is nothing going on other than tracing on a cpu, but for streaming it also
has to provide an upper bound on the delay before the information is sent out
(for merging across event streams coming from different CPUs). These notifiers
lets the ring buffer use deferrable timers to perform data delivery by forcing a
buffer flush before going to sleep.
