There is already code using the new bindings, for the idle states.
Please have look at patch 5, 6 and 11.

Moreover, you have had plenty on time to look at the series, as those
patches haven't changed since a very long time.

May I suggest you do the review instead, so we can move things
forward, please. The changes in the v9 series should be trivial to
review.

move the files. Is really such a big deal? I think it makes sense, no
matter what happens afterwards.
