Argh, thanks.

In my first RFC, the platform code was creating a domain. In this RFC,
we are flaunting an idea that a generic code could setup the domains
without any intervention from platform code. It will do everything
common on most ARM platforms. Architectures that do not have anything
specific in their domain, would benefit from such an initialization.

If we were to export this genpd and then platform code could attach more
devices to the genpd, or make it a sub of another genpd, would that
work?

If you could get the CPU genpd from the ARM common code, you could embed
that in the L2 domain.

On QCOM's big.LITTLE SoC, there would a PM domain for each of the CPUs
and then there would be a coherency PM domain that would contain the big
and LITTLE cluster domains. In that case, the platform code would create
and initialize the coherency domain and make the CPU domains a sub of
the coherency domain. Would something like that work?

Thanks for the example. Would it work, if the platform code initalizes
the pd_a3sm, pd_a3km and pd_c4 and set up the hierarchy and to add the
CPU domains, you could query the ARM and then add the domains to the
pd_a3sm and pd_a3km?

Thanks for looking through the patch.
