[RFC v2 07/12] PM / cpu_domains: Add PM Domain governor for CPUs

A PM domain comprising of CPUs may be powered off when all the CPUs in
the domain are powered down. Powering down a CPU domain is generally a
expensive operation and therefore the power performance trade offs
should be considered. The time between the last CPU powering down and
the first CPU powering up in a domain, is the time available for the
domain to sleep. Ideally, the sleep time of the domain should fulfill
the residency requirement of the domains' idle state.

To do this effectively, read the time before the wakeup of the cluster's
CPUs and ensure that the domain's idle state sleep time guarantees the
QoS requirements of each of the CPU, the PM QoS CPU_DMA_LATENCY and the
state's residency.
