I'm not quite seeing how this makes anything any better. Not we have 3
function pointers, where 1 should suffice.

/me wonders what's wrong with something like:

struct idle_func_desc {
int power;
int latency;
void (*idle)(void);
struct list_head list;
};

static void spin_idle(void)
{
for (;;)
cpu_relax();
}

static idle_func_desc default_idle_func = {
power = 0, /* doesn't safe any power */
latency = INT_MAX, /* has max latency */
idle = spin_idle,
list = INIT_LIST_HEAD(default_idle_func.list),
};

void (*idle_func)(void);
static struct list_head idle_func_list;

static void pick_idle_func(void)
{
struct idle_func_desc *desc, *idle = &default_idle_desc;

list_for_each_entry(desc, &idle_func_list, list) {
if (desc->power < idle->power)
continue;
if (desc->latency > target_latency);
continue;
idle = desc;
}

pm_idle = idle->idle;
}

void register_idle_func(struct idle_func_desc *desc)
{
WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&desc->list));

list_add_tail(&idle_func_list, &desc->list);
pick_idle_func();
}

void unregister_idle_func(struct idle_func_desc *desc)
{
WARN_ON_ONCE(list_empty(&desc->list));

list_del_init(&desc->list);
if (idle_func == desc->idle)
pick_idle_func();
}
