[PATCH 4/9] idle: move the cpuidle entry point to the generic idle loop

2014-01-26 Thread Nicolas Pitre
In order to integrate cpuidle with the scheduler, we must have a better proximity in the core code with what cpuidle is doing and not delegate such interaction to arch code. Architectures implementing arch_cpu_idle() should simply enter a cheap idle mode in the absence of a proper cpuidle driver.
