Changelog:
v5:	- Fix compile error in cpuidle patch reported by 0-day.
	- Reverse patch order for correct dependency.

v4:	- Misc comments from Ingo are addressed, including style fix,
	  timeout handling, fork().
	- Dropped powerclamp patch from this set, move to its own
	  series.

v3:	- Rearrange idle.c change based on Rafael's suggestion.

v2:
	- Moved duration timer from powerclamp driver to play_idle()
	- Unexport cpuidle_use_deepest_state
	- Indentation fix

Idle injection drivers today use RT threads to run idle loop. There are
efficiency and accounting issues with the current intel_powerclamp.c
and acpi_pad.c. A while ago, I posted CFS based idle injection patch trying
to address them:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/13/576

Peter proposed another approach with the introduction of a PF_IDLE flag.
This patchset is based on his original posting:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/56

These patches apply on top of the kworker and cpu hotplug state machine
changes made to Intel powerclamp driver.

Similar changes to ACPI PAD driver is developed along with other
enhancements. It will be posted after this patchset is accepted.
