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:
