cpuidle users should call cpuidle_call_idle() directly
rather than via (pm_idle)() function pointer.

Architecture may choose to continue using (pm_idle)(),
but cpuidle need not depend on it:

  my_arch_cpu_idle()
	...
	if(cpuidle_call_idle())
		pm_idle();

When a Xen Dom0 kernel boots on a hypervisor, it gets access
to the raw-hardware ACPI tables.  While it parses the idle tables
for the hypervisor's beneift, it uses HLT for its own idle.

Rather than have xen scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,
have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and
architecture default HLT will be used.

useful for disabling cpuidle to fall back
to architecture-default idle loop

cpuidle drivers and governors will fail to register.
on x86 they'll say so:

intel_idle: intel_idle yielding to (null)
ACPI: acpi_idle yielding to (null)

Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing
nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors
in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state
selection and increased power consumption. This also breaks cpuidle
state residency statistics.

Fix a bunch of
	warning: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration
messages when building a 'make allyesconfig' kernel with -Wextra.

These warnings are trivial to kill, yet rather annoying when building with
-Wextra.
The more we can cut down on pointless crap like this the better (IMHO).

A previous patch to do this for a 'allnoconfig' build has already been
merged. This just takes the cleanup a little further.

<title>cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer</title>

<id>f77cfe4ea21760268c0277fa3e4b02dfd2a2c2f4</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
events -&gt; this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.

It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
  - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
  - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
  - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
  - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)

Convention should be:
Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.

Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
-&gt; this is really easy is now.

This affects userspace:
The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
mapped to:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
misses out C-states in his BIOS.
Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
events from:
/sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
-&gt; everything is fine.
