Good point.

The cluster states should account for that additional latency. Just the
CPU's power down states need not care about that.

But, it would be nice if the PM domain governor could be cognizant of
the idle state chosen for each CPU, that way we dont configure the
domain to be powered off when the CPUs have just chosen to power down
(not chosen a cluster state). I think that is a whole different topic to
discuss.
