At least the Nexus S doesn't implmeent any of the deep idle
infrastructure.  However, I'd expect that you can achieve some power
saving from entering system suspend as if *everything* is off then the
PMIC can be suspended which can enable additional power savings.  Unless
I'm missing something that'd be hard to hit with cpuidle only stuff.
