The usual cpuidle initialization routines are to register the
driver, then register a cpuidle device per cpu.

With the device's state count default initialization with the
driver's state count, the code initialization remains mostly the
same in the different drivers.

We can then add a new function 'cpuidle_register' where we register
the driver and the devices. These devices can be defined in a global
static variable in cpuidle.c. We will be able to factor out and
remove a lot of duplicate lines of code.

As we still have some drivers, with different initialization routines,
we keep 'cpuidle_register_driver' and 'cpuidle_register_device' as low
level initialization routines to do some specific operations on the
cpuidle devices.

Isn't this racy with respect to CPU hotplug?

No, I don't think so. Do you see a race ?

This could be improved I guess.. What if the registration fails
for the first cpu itself? Then looping over entire online cpumask
would be a waste of time..

Certainly in a critical section that would make sense, but for 4,8 or 16 cpus in an initialization path at boot time... Anyway, I can add what is proposed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/22/143.

Thanks
