IIUC, the cpuidle driver is not yet ready, right ?

If it is the case, this driver is not needed yet, no ?

Perhaps you can rework a bit this driver in the meantime to have a 
better fix than disabling the code with macros ?

Otherwise, please try at least to group the code into a minimal set of 
macros.

One comment below.

Is smp_twd.h really needed ?
