[PATCH 4/8] ARM: OMAP3: cpuidle: next C-state decision depends on the PM QoS MPU and CORE constraints

The MPU latency figures for cpuidle include the MPU itself and also
the peripherals needed for the MPU to execute instructions (e.g.
main memory, caches, IRQ controller, MMU etc). On OMAP3 those
peripherals belong to the MPU and CORE power domains and so the
cpuidle C-states are a combination of MPU and CORE states.

This patch implements the relation between the cpuidle and per-
device PM QoS frameworks in the OMAP3 specific idle callbacks.

The chosen C-state shall satisfy the following conditions:
 . it satisfies the enable_off_mode flag,
 . the next state for MPU and CORE power domains is not lower than the
   next state calculated by the per-device PM QoS.

Tested on OMAP3 Beagleboard in RET/OFF using wake-up latency constraints
on MPU, CORE and PER.
