[PATCH V3 0/3] ARM: tegra114: cpuidle: add power down state

This series introduce CPU core power down state for CPU idle. When CPU go
into this state, it saves it's context and needs a proper configuration
in flow controller to power gate the CPU when CPU runs into WFI
instruction. And the CPU also needs to set the IRQ as CPU power down idle
wake up event in flow controller.

To prevent race conditions and ensure proper interrupt routing on
Cortex-A15 CPUs when they are power-gated, add a CPU PM notifier
call-back to reprogram the GIC CPU interface on PM entry. The
GIC CPU interface will be reset back to its normal state by
the common GIC CPU PM exit callback when the CPU wakes up.

This series depends on the patch of "tick:  Fix
tick_broadcast_pending_mask not cleared".

V3:
* use CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag
V2:
* clean up the CPUidle driver to make it more generic
