Is there any reason why we aren't putting these structures into a linker
section like we do for the smp operations structures?
The nice thing about using the linker is it makes it clearer at the
location where we define the structure that it's actually used by
something. Right now the structures are defined non-static in a file and
then we have to know that a CPUIDLE_OPS() define has been made in
another architecture specific asm header file so that this macro magic
works. The commit text says something about multiple declarations and
ops spread across header files, which shouldn't apply if we're using the
linker to find these ops and merge them into an array we can iterate over.
