Yes and it is wrong. That is the result of the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START dance.
The ladder governor is avoiding to use the POLL state as it was running on x86. But on, eg. ARM, we will never reflect the state 0 because CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START is equal to zero for all non-x86 platform.
If I am not wrong the ladder select function will never choose the state 0 for x86, so it will never reflect the state 0 (after applying the patch 1/5). For the other arch it will reflect the state 0 as it should.
