Merge tag 'suspend-to-idle-3.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull suspend-to-idle updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Suspend-to-idle timer quiescing support for v3.20-rc1

  Until now suspend-to-idle has not been able to save much more energy
  than runtime PM because of timer interrupts that periodically bring
  CPUs out of idle while they are waiting for a wakeup interrupt.  Of
  course, the timer interrupts are not wakeup ones, so the handling of
  them can be deferred until a real wakeup interrupt happens, but at the
  same time we don't want to mass-expire timers at that point.

  The solution is to suspend the entire timekeeping when the last CPU is
  entering an idle state and resume it when the first CPU goes out of
  idle.  That has to be done with care, though, so as to avoid accessing
  suspended clocksources etc.  end we need extra support from idle
  drivers for that.

  This series of commits adds support for quiescing timers during
  suspend-to-idle and adds the requisite callbacks to intel_idle and the
  ACPI cpuidle driver"
