SubjectRe: kapm-idled : is this a bug?

very helpful.

Technical merits and voter intent aside, this behavior is misleading and
inconsistent with previous kernels. Tools like top or a CPU dock applet show
a constantly loaded CPU. Hacking them to deduct the load from 'kapm-idled'
seems like the wrong answer.
