I rebased the idle stuff, and now I get errors, so I haven't pushed it
yet. I put a note that OMAP3_THERMAL is off by default, but this
patch would at least get the framing in there. I know at least two of
us that use 1GHZ processors which are not supposed to run at that
speed above 90MHz, so the idea was to tolerate the higher current for
now, and when the idle stuff works, we'll enable the OMAP3_THERMAL by
default.
