Maybe Kevin can just carry it along in the PM branch for now?

I'd prefer to keep it in mainline as this is a very important feature
for the PM functionality already in mainline.

I agree with Kevin and that's what have been saying from begining when
we decided to drop this feature. The new patch from Kevin is already
doing this in more generic way than that was before.

To me Kevin's later patch makes more sense, but still has few issues:

- It keeps the dependency between PM debug code and sys_timer code.
  That's yet another artificial blocker for making PM code a loadable
  module. We really don't want to export anything from the sys_timer code.

- The interface for programming a wake-up timer should be Linux generic,
  not omap specific.

Further, it's a CONFIG_PM_DEBUG patch. So that code should not be
in the mainline kernel.
