With this patch there is single copy of cpuidle_states structure
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driverand
architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.

I haven't actually tested this series on OMAP yet, but it currently
doesn't compile.

The patch below (on top of your series) is required to compile on OMAP,
I think it's doing what you intended, but please confirm.
