I propose to host a cpuidle-next tree where all these modifications will be and where people can send patches against, preventing last minutes conflicts and perhaps Lenb will agree to pull from this tree. In the meantime, the tree will be part of the linux-next, the patches will be more widely tested and could be fixed earlier.
My coupled cpuidle patches were acked and temporarily in Len's next/Linus pull branch, but were later dropped when the first pull request to Linus was rejected. I asked Len to either put the coupled cpuidle patches into his next branch, or let me host them so people could base SoC branches off of them and let Len pull them later, but got no response. If you do start a cpuidle for-next branch, can you pull my coupled-cpuidle branch:

Great!
Daniel, thanks for tracking this. Are you planning to submit a pull request to Rafael so we finally can get this into linux-next and merged for v3.6?
Looks like there will be a slight problem to sort out though. Len's 'next' branch[1] is already included in linux-next and as some version of the coupled CPUidle already merged.
I hope we can sort this out in time for v3.6 because this series has been well reviewed, well tested and ready for merge since before the v3.5 merge window.
