Two points:

1. It's good practice to call cpu_idle_wait() after modifying pm_idle,
even on UP - it allows static checking of this.

2. what's wrong with calling disable_hlt() to prevent the pm_idle function
being called?  Why solve it this complicated way of changing the pm_idle
pointer when there's some infrastructure which can fix it for you already?
