I would hope that there is at last some overlap, as well as only a
limited number of things that you might want to do with smc.

This looks straightforward to implement as an indirect call just for
cpu_do_idle. We already have an indirection layer for cpu-specific
do_idle functions. It would be ideal to have only one level of
indirection, but the extra level would work as well.

This is a different method from what I had in mind, but it would
work too. It's not platform independent though.

What I was thinking of is something along the lines of

static void nosmc_cpu_do_idle(void)
{
	cpu_do_idle();
}

struct smc_ops {
	void (*do_idle)(void);
	...
};

struct smc_ops default_smc_ops = {
	.do_idle = nosmc_cpu_do_idle,
	...
};

So the exynos4_cpu_suspend() function would just do an indirect call to
smc->do_idle(), which is either nosmc_cpu_do_idle or a function specific
to the smc firmware.
