Not really no. We already have that here or there in other drivers,
it's not necessarily messy and the stuff like that can generally be made
reasonably self contained.

The main issue is that if I (powerpc) wants a fix in my
some_ppc_box_idle.c driver, especially if it needs to sync with other
arch changes, having to sync/ack with Rafael might complicate things a
bit (though not necessarily a lot).

I would probably keep the liberty of sending to Linus directly urgent
bug/regression fixes to individual cpuidle drivers relating to our archs
without waiting every now and then if for example Rafael is on
vacation :-)
