Hi guys,

did you have time to look at this patch ?

We are writing a tool [1] to do some statistics about the cpu's idle 
times and giving the source of the wakeup. We hope it could be useful 
for the community to do some measurements but we need the IPI 
tracepoints to be more accurate.

Thanks in advance
