We had created the OMAP PM layer as a pluggable layer where we could
experiment with different approaches for adding constratints, etc.  I
can't remember anymore what all was in there, but we gutted most of it
after switching to runtime PM. 

The SRF was a "shared resource framework" that came out of a TI kernel
that was never accepted upstream either, but was one of the
implementation of the OMAP PM layer.
