Okay, Thanks. Last night I was able to get a patch working with one
cpuidle_register_driver and multiple cpuidle_register_device. The issue
using an module_init() was -

1. Register a device to probe the cpuidle driver.
2. Register cpuidle devices for every SPM probed.

What used to happen is that the cpuidle driver probe always happens 
after the cpuidle devices were created.

I have a solution where I register for the cpuidle device to probe a
driver, at postcore_initcall() at which point, the cpuidle framework
would also be available.

I am not sure how elegant it looks, but thats the latest initcall I
could get a consistent driver initialization before the SPM probe
(therefore the device registration).

I will send the patch this morning.

This one, I havent addressed. How strongly do you feel about this? I
still have to iterate through all the cpus to find the cpu node that
matches the handle specified in the SAW node.
