In that case I also think we need not implement a default driver (like the one I had done https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/22/154) to handle the case when acpi_idle and intel_idle may not register. Additionally, we may not need to support multiple cpuidle driver registration as now there would be only acpi_idle and intel_idle and mechanism already exists to select between the two.
