Subject[RFD PATCH 07/10] cpuidle: Add a simple select governor
Date
This simple governor takes into account the predictable events: the timer sleep
duration and the next expected IO sleep duration. By mixing both it deduced
what idle state fits better. This governor must be extended to a statistical
approach to predict all the other events.

The main purpose of this governor is to handle the guessed next events in a
categorized way:
1. deterministic events : timers
2. guessed events : IOs
3. predictable events : keystroke, incoming network packet, ...

This governor is aimed to be moved later near the scheduler, so this one
can inspect/inject more informations and act proactively rather than
reactively.
