Indeed your patch brings significant improvements, cf. wiki page at
http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Power_Management_Device_Latencies_Measurement#C1_performance_problem:_analysis
for detailed information.
Here below is the reworked patch, more suited for inclusion in mainline [1]

I have another optimisation -in proof of concept state- that brings
another significant improvement. It is about allowing/disabling idle
for only 1 clkdm in a pwrdm and not iterate through all the clkdms.
This still needs some rework though. Cf. patch [2]

Patches [1] and [2] on top of the registers cache and the
optimisations in pre/post_transition bring the performance close to
the performance for the non cpuidle case (3.0MB/s compared to 3.1MB/s
on Beagleboard).

What do you think?

Regards,
Jean
