In order to safely remove PM domains there are a few changes that need to be
made to ensure that no one is holding an external reference to a PM domain
after it has been removed. One solution, implemented here, solves this by
eliminating external references to PM domain. Another alternative would be
to employ some reference counting for the PM domains, however, I did not see
a good reason for allowing external references in the first place (as always
there could be something that I have over-looked!).

Apologize for the long delay!

I have looked through this now and I really like this!

There were a few comments, but those should be easily taken care of.
So please go ahead and re-spin a new version!

There are a few outstanding genpd patches which I have posted a while
ago but which isn't yet queued for 4.8.
I don't know whether those will conflict with this series (if they get
merged prior to this), but I guess it's better if you anyway base you
series on Rafael's latest changes instead of on top of mine...

Kind regards
