Slight change since yesterday, it applies on top of:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git sched/core

Note that that tree isn't stable, its generated from my quilt series and
completely regenerated every time I update.

Ideally those things would soon make their wait into tip, but Ingo's
busy with real life stuff for a bit.

Subject: idle, thermal, acpi: Remove home grown idle implementations
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Wed Nov 20 14:32:37 CET 2013

People are starting to grow their own idle implementations in various
disgusting ways. Collapse the lot and use the generic idle code to
provide a proper idle cycle implementation.

This does not fully preseve existing behaviour in that the generic
idle cycle function calls into the normal cpuidle governed idle
routines and should thus respect things like QoS parameters and the
like.

If people want to over-ride the idle state they should talk to the
cpuidle folks about extending the interface and attempt to preserve
QoS guarantees, instead of jumping straight to the deepest possible C
state -- Jacub Pan said he was going to do this.

This is reported to work for intel_powerclamp by Jacub Pan, the
acpi_pad driver is untested.
