There aren't many users of pm_idle

Both APM and ACPI set pm_idle, and both can be modular. It seems, however, 
they are the only such ones. And since they APM and ACPI refuse to be both 
loaded, we cannot have (actually) two modules which override pm_idle. So 
you're right.

There are a few other issues with pm_idle, preempt and modular drivers 
which someone else is looking at, we'll see how things go from there.
