CPUidle currently manages MPU and CORE powerdomains, so the CORE
constraints seem to make perfect sense here (at least to me.)

The question is probably more about the PER constraints.

The basic goal of this is to streamline the core idle (omap_sram_idle())
to be the minimum streamline idle, and to move all the constraint
checking and activity checking to higher layers (like CPUidle.)
Specifically, I'm working towards moving the device-specific idle
constraints out of the core idle path (omap_sram_idle()) and move them
into higher layers where we're checking for activity etc.

This is just a baby step towards moving the device-idle out of CPUidle
completely to a place where it can be managed by the driver themeselves
using runtime PM or by using constraints instead of these hard-coded
hacks.
