it never suspends/resumes. it is always runing. it uses an omap feature called
"zero clock" - the cpu literally stops its clock. registers self-refresh (and
ram) like suspend, but on any interrupt (timer, device) it starts running again
really fast - nothing is shut down and brought up like suspend/resume. its more
like a really smart cpufreq that has a 0mhz option. :)

no. though you could use a pm for this... but really. "zero clock" does this
effectively.. on 1 core. :)
