No, C1/C2 did not seem to work with 2.6.24 - at least powertop reported 99,9%
C0 usage. It was the same behavior as after applying the wakeup patch.
However in 2.6.25 and 2.6.25-git11 C1/C2 worked correctly and C2 showed up in
pt. But after applying your patch to 2.6.25-git11 they did not:

git11:
PowerTOP version 1.9 (C) 2007 Intel Corporation
Cn Avg residency P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running) ( 9,4%) 1,80 Ghz 100,0%
C1 0,0ms ( 0,0%) 1,60 Ghz 0,0%
C2 0,4ms (90,6%) 800 Mhz 0,0%
Wakeups-from-idle per second : 9051,0 interval: 5,0s

git11 with wakeup-patch:
PowerTOP version 1.9 (C) 2007 Intel Corporation
Cn Avg residency P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running) (99,9%) 1,80 Ghz 100,0%
C1 0,0ms ( 0,0%) 1,60 Ghz 0,0%
C2 0,2ms ( 0,1%) 800 Mhz 0,0%
Wakeups-from-idle per second : 59,8 interval: 10,0s

In both cases the system was idle. I've uploaded the files you wanted:

http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~klada/misc/kernel/cpuidle_git11_wakeuppatch.txt
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~klada/misc/kernel/dmesg_git11.txt

http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~klada/misc/kernel/nx6125_acpidump.out

If there is anything else I can do for debugging this issue please let me
know.
