No. raw_ just means "I know what I'm doing, go away preemption checks"
which usually is not the right thing if you actually care about the CPU
this code is running on staying the same after you call the function.

I imagine that the RPM notification will go into power domains? From the
cpuidle perspective we're putting the CPU into wfi, retention, gdhs,
power collapse and those correspond exactly to a flat mapping of the cpu
idle indices. Those idle states will tell the power domain "I have this
much time to sleep" and the power domain path will determine if we can
go notify the RPM or not based on the time and the state of the other
CPUs. At least this is my understanding of what Daniel was saying about
how power domains could be used to overcome the "hierarchical" idle states.

If that was true the bootloader should do it. The goal is to move away
from initcall ordering and use probe defer for these things.
