Fwd: [PATCHv2 0/5] coupled cpuidle state support

[Amit Kucheria]

Andy,

TI seems to be happy with the cpuidle driver based on Colin's couple
C-state work. Santosh has provided a branch at the end of this message that
is rebased on top of 3.4-rc2. Can we fold this into the TILT tree for April?

Daniel,

You should provided a consolidated version of your fixes and cleanups to
the various LTs too.

/Amit

As you know, we have been playing around this series for OMAP
for last few weeks. This version series seems to work as intended
and found it pretty stable in my testing. Apart from the cpu
hotplug fix and the trace event comment, series looks fine
to me.

FWIW,

An updated version of this series along with OMAP cpuidle
driver updates against 3.4-rc2 is available here [1] in
case some body is interested looking at it.
