Hmm, looks like we're not using that anywhere right now. Should
we have a function or macro set_arm_idle() that does that
automatically?

Thanks that allows removal of few lines of code. Updated
patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP1: Fix pm_idle during suspend

Commit 9ccdac3662dbf3c75e8f8851a214bdf7d365a4bd ([ARM] idle:
clean up pm_idle calling, obey hlt_counter) removed a check
for NULL pm_idle.

On omap1 the system hits an equivalent of suspend during idle.
If we are suspending, we need to make sure so we don't call
omap1_pm_idle during the suspend process.

Fix this by using disable_hlt and enable_hlt for the suspend
as pointed out by Russell King <linux at arm.linux.org.uk>. This
allows us to remove the saved_idle.
