If not, we could end up in the unfortunate situation where we dereference a NULL pointer b/c we have cpuidle disabled. This is the case when booting under Xen (which uses the ACPI P/C states but disables the CPU idle driver) - and can be easily reproduced when booting with cpuidle.off=1. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff8156db4a>] cpuidle_unregister_device+0x2a/0x90 .. snip..
