Eheh I stand corrected :). Not a big deal, drivers can be allocated
dynamically; it seems that the designs above leave us no choice, the
idle states are the only differentiating factor when it comes
to CPUidle driver logical cpumask creation, happy to hear more
opinions on this, but I do not really see what we can use instead.

Thanks,
