There is no need to keep omap3 sleep code in SRAM. This code can be
run very
well on DDR. This would help us to instrument CPUIdle latencies.
Uhh, are you sure about this? To me it sounds like you're then relying on the code running from the cache for off-idle?
Actually the caches are off too for off-idle..
The low power code can be executed from DDR and need not be from cache. The only real implementation on OMAP3 is around DVFS code, where you need to put DDR to self refresh and execute some piece of code. That still needs to be executed from some other memory like (SRAM).
