Yeah, not liking that much; you can make it look like:

	if (cpu_idle_force_poll || tick_check_broadcast_expired())
		cpu_idle_poll();
	else
		cpu_idle_call();

Though. That keeps the polling case separate from the actual idle
function.


And when you do that; you can also push down the
current_clr_polling_and_test() muck so it doesn't cover the actual
cpuidle policy code.
