The objective of the refactoring is to have a single common idle
routine management framework (remove pm_idle) and we have it done
through cpuidle registration framework.  We can incrementally remove
the per-cpu registration later easily by splitting the cpuidle_driver
structure.

Yes, incremental refactoring makes the most sense from the do not
break as you refactor point of view.

Sure,.. but I would have though getting rid of the per-cpu-ish-ness
would have made the latter patches in this series easier. But maybe I'm
lazy ;-)

Let me go over the patches one more time, but they do look ok.
