Well, I'm likely overlooking something, but how is this going to be
hooked up to the code in idle.c?

My somewhat educated guess is that sched_idle() in your patch is
intended to replace cpuidle_idle_call(), right?

Well, no. I was planning to first have it to use a different code path as experimental code in order to focus improving the accuracy of the prediction and then merge or replace cpuidle_idle_call() with sched_idle().

If so, why do you want to replace it?

And assuming that you have a good enough reason to do that, you need
to ensure that suspend-to-idle will work anyway.

Yes, sure.
