Thats a good question. I think Tero did this so he can kick in
voltage transitions at the right time in idle/suspend.
Given that these deal with incrementing/decrementing the MPU and CORE
pwrdm usecounts alone, maybe on OMAP4 (SMP systems) this needs to also
increment/decrement the specific CPU usecounts on the CPUs these calls
are made.
