With your changes, the CPU will never get into idle at all until cpuidle initializes and the driver loads. That means not only much later in the boot process, but potentially never if the distro has the driver as a module and fails to load it, or similar. Can't that be an issue ? Shouldn't we keep at least one of the basic idle functions as a fallback ?
