Fisrtly patches get posted to right mailing list based on where the
code resides. So one must keep a watch on LAKML for the patches.

Talking specific to OMAP idle code, there is plan to move
to drivers/idle/* but for that to happen there are some PRM/CM
dependency for which also driver movement is planned. Once
that happen, OMAP idle will find its way in drivers/idle/*
