the patches were CC'ed to LKML and linux-arch and I expected that you
are at least having the latter. Find the relevant patch inlined below.

Sigh no.

It is a counter. I looked carefully at all the various slightly
differently fcked up implementations and picked the counter based one
as it fits all requirements.

Subject: idle: Implement generic idle function
From: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de>
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:49:35 +0100
All idle functions in arch/* are more or less the same, plus minus a
few bugs and extra instrumentation, tickless support and other
optional items.
Implement a generic idle function which resembles the functionality
found in arch/. Provide weak arch_cpu_idle_* functions which can be
overridden by the architecture code if needed.
