[PATCH RFC 3/4] drivers: cpuidle: CPU idle ARM64 driver

This patch implements a generic CPU idle driver for ARM64 machines.

It relies on the ARM idle states infrastructure to initialize idle
states count and respective parameters. Current code assumes the driver
is managing idle states on all possible CPUs but can be easily
generalized to support heterogenous systems and build cpumasks at
runtime using MIDRs or DT cpu nodes compatible properties.

+	  Select this to enable generic cpuidle driver for ARM v8.
+	  It provides a generic idle driver whose idle states are configured
+	  at run-time through DT nodes. Idle protocol backends are initialized
+	  by the device tree parsing code on matching the entry method for
+	  the respective protocol.
