When idle injection is used to cap power, we need to override
governor's choice of idle states. This patch allows caller to select
the deepest idle state on a CPU therefore achieve the maximum
potential power saving.

#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_IDLE

would be more ususal.

I would arrange the code slightly differently here:

	if (idle_should_freeze() || dev->use_deepest_state) {
		if (idle_should_freeze()) {
			entered_state = cpuidle_enter_freeze(drv, dev);
			if (entered_state > 0) {
				local_irq_enable();
				goto exit_idle;
			}
		}

		next_state = cpuidle_find_deepest_state(drv, dev);
		call_cpuidle(drv, dev, next_state);
	} else {


This way you'd avoid the ugly code duplication and the extra
dev->use_deepest_state branch in the most frequent case.  I guess you could
take the unlikely() thing away from idle_should_freeze() and use it directly
here too.

Thanks,
Rafael

Sounds good. Will change in the next version.
