Unless I'm mistaken, you added traces to dedicated CPU idle sleep but
not shared processor. Any reason ?

Also I don't really know that tracing stuff but what's the point of
having start/end _and trace_cpu_idle if you're going to always start &
end around a single occurence of trace_cpu_idle ?

Wouldn't there be a way to start/end and then trace the snooze and
subsequent cede within the same start/end section or that makes no
sense ?

Also would there be any interest in doing the tracing more generically
in idle.c ?

Cheers,
Ben.
