I believe that the stop/start_critical_timings() can nest. If not, I
can make them do so. Thus, we could start adding them in the depths of
the cpuidle drivers. If we miss one, we may not notice until someone
reports a large latency due to it.  And that is only if the driver
itself calls local_irq_save/restore().
