As the architectures tend to add more cores [1][2], that means more
memory consumption. In a very near future, we will have 100 cores in a
cpu. Assuming we have 4 C-states, that is 100 * 4 * 8 = 3200 bytes of
memory used for a single function. IMHO, the kernel shouldn't assume the
user must add mo

We have the state index passed as parameter to the 'enter' function.
Most of the drivers assign their 'enter' functions several times in
the cpuidle_state structure, as we have the index, we can delegate
to the driver to handle their own callback array.
That will have the benefit of removing multi
