The idea is good but it could be pushed a bit further.

Instead of changing cpuidle_state_table to an array, change it to an
initdata and the functions intel_idle_cpuidle_driver_init,
intel_idle_probe to init functions.

That would also be nice to get rid of a global variable to store the
current cpu data and let the intel_idle_probe to return the pointer to
the right table.
