OK.

OK.

My original idea is to hand over to a general purpose timer when the
local timer stops, however, Danienl Lezcano naked this and points out cases
that it may misbehave. So I fall back to the generic approach which uses the
broadcast timer on the v3 patch.

The cluster idle won't be available in the near future and possibly never will,
while the C1 state is ready and stable, so I split the C1 part out.

OK.

Many thanks for your review and all the great comments.
