I just sent 2 patches which optimize the C1 state latency:
 . [PATCH 1/2] ARM: OMAP3: PM: cpuidle: optimize the PER latency in C1 state
 . [PATCH 2/2] ARM: OMAP3: PM: cpuidle: optimize the clkdm idle
latency in C1 state

Note: those patches apply on top of your pre/post_transition
optimization patches.

The performance results are close to the !PM case (No IDLE, no
omap_sram_idle, all pwrdms to ON), i.e. 3.1MB/s on Beagleboard.
The wiki page update comes asap.

Regards,
Jean
