This patch adds code and EXPORT_SYMBOL's that bloat the kernel for everyone but are currently completely unused in the kernel with the sole justification "We use the idle notifier in the context of perfmon."
The people who whine loudly when I'm sending patches to remove code that is unused within the kernel should consider that they could save some tears when NAK'ing such patches until an actual user gets included in the kernel...
