Linus Torvalds 99fa0ad92c Suspend-to-idle timer quiescing support for v3.20-rc1
Till now suspend-to-idle has not been able to save much more energy
 than runtime PM because of timer interrupts that periodically bring
 CPUs out of idle while they are waiting for a wakeup interrupt.  Of
 course, the timer interrupts are not wakeup ones, so the handling of
 them can be deferred until a real wakeup interrupt happens, but at
 the same time we don't want to mass-expire timers at that point.
 
 The solution is to suspend the entire timekeeping when the last CPU
 is entering an idle state and resume it when the first CPU goes out
 of idle.  That has to be done with care, though, so as to avoid
 accessing suspended clocksources etc. end we need extra support
 from idle drivers for that.
 
 This series of commits adds support for quiescing timers during
 suspend-to-idle and adds the requisite callbacks to intel_idle
 and the ACPI cpuidle driver.
