Still trying to fully understand...

So when the DSS wakes and tries to access memories, CORE should be
woken up from OFF but the context restore (done by MPU) will not have
happenend resulting in badness.  

If that's the case, this really should be a constraint set by the DSS
driver.  I'm not crazy about adding more special case handling in the
idle path.

While it's not technically a latency constraint we could use
omap_pm_set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat() in the DSS driver with a FIXME
comment to the effect that its not a latency constraint but rather a
prevent CORE context loss type of constraint.

Longer term, we'll need a new OMAP PM function for this.  Something like

    omap_pm_set_maximum_context_loss(struct device *initiator,
                                     strict device *target,
                                     u32 count);

Where count is 0 to prevent context loss and 1 to allow.  In this case,
the initiator would be the dss device and the target would be a new
device used for L3.   Comments?
