Subject: [RFC 1/2] cpuidle: trace state of the CPU

This patch adds an interface to cpuidle in order to retrieve the current
idle state of a given CPU. Zero means the CPU is not in an idle state. Either
because a cpuidle driver is not available or because the CPU is busy
executing code. Values greater than zero the CPU indicate that the CPU
is in some kind of idle state. The larger the value, the deeper the idle
state.
