[RFC][PATCH 2/7] sched: power: Power driver late callback interface

[Morten Rasmussen]

Adds a late callback to the power driver interface which is called
with irq enabled and no locks held. The power driver may postpone
work that can't be done in schedule context (irq disabled and rq
locks held) and let the late callback handle it.
