The function arm_enter_idle_state is exactly the same in both generic
ARM{32,64} CPUIdle driver and will be the same even on ARM64 backend
for ACPI processor idle driver. So we can unify it and move it as
generic_cpuidle_enter by introducing HAVE_GENERIC_CPUIDLE_ENTER and
enabling the same on both ARM{32,64}.

This is in preparation of reuse of the generic cpuidle entry function
for ACPI LPI support on ARM64.

That "generic" part in the name concerns me a bit, because the thing is not
really generic.  It is "common on ARM" rather.


I agree and that's exactly what I told Daniel. It's rather just
*ARM Generic*. Any preference on the name ? I had it header file under
include/linu/cpuidle-arm.h in the previous version. Do you prefer that ?

If you look at the users of cpu_pm_enter(), they are all ARM.  Nobody else uses
it, so at least please put cpuidle_generic_enter_state() under a #ifdef to avoid
building it in vain on non-ARM.


Agreed, that should be taken care once I do the changes you are
suggesting below.

And if you put it under the #ifdef here, its definition also should go under
the same #ifdef.


Yes I will do that.
