Knowing the sleep length of the CPU is useful for the power state
determination on idle. The value is relative to the time when the call
was invoked by the CPU. This doesn't work well when there is a need to
know when the actual wakeup is.

By reading the next wake up event of a CPU, governors can determine the
first CPU to wake up (due to timer) amongst a cluster of CPUs and the
sleep time available between the last CPU to idle and the first CPU to
resume. This information is useful to determine if the caches and other
common hardware blocks can also be put in idle during this common period
of inactivity.

Hi Lina,
