I don't think that's necessary. It looks like CONFIG_PM=y has never really
worked for you, but you wasn't aware of that.

I'm really not sure. It looks like CONFIG_PM makes PM QoS affect cpuidle
for you in a wrong way, so to speak.

I suppose it's time to look into the code and see what makes the difference.
