To me Kevin's later patch makes more sense, but still has few issues:

- It keeps the dependency between PM debug code and sys_timer code.
  That's yet another artificial blocker for making PM code a loadable
  module. We really don't want to export anything from the sys_timer code.

- The interface for programming a wake-up timer should be Linux generic,
  not omap specific.

Further, it's a CONFIG_PM_DEBUG patch. So that code should not be
in the mainline kernel.

Tony
