Hi Len,
I found that by review, it's compile tested only.
Could you give this a review and apply if appropriate.
Thanks,
Thomas

if idle= boot param is passed, cpuidle drivers should not register
and only arch specific idle routines should get active.
Ideally cpuidle subsystem would be made aware of this.
But acpi parses sleep state tables before registering for cpuidle
which should not happen if idle= is passed.
-> Check for boot_option_idle_override in cpuidle drivers, not
cpuidle subsystem.
Compare with:
arch/x86/kernel/process.c
and
drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c
