I think for now you can get away with just adding suspend and resume
calls where suspend calls pdata->context_may_be_lost() and saves
context as needed. And you do want to still call context_may_be_lost()
as Android configured kernel does suspend and resume constantly..

Then the cpu_notifier() can be added later on as needed once the
cpuidle patches are ready.

Tony
