It sounds as if there is a side-effect of this
patch on x86 (am I reading it incorrectly), which can be fixed, but
it will need a patch or so to get back the old behaviour on x86.

What does this mean for users of cpuidle_pause_and_lock/unlock?
Should we be calling register/unregister_idle_function here?

Use booleans if possible, unless you intend to extend the meaning of
registered someday.
