    Most excellent! I should have been more clear that I only knew about
    how CPUidle worked in our local production kernel. There I'm pretty
    sure CPUidle is just WFI/WFE. If you've got patches to do better then
    that's great!

    ...can you confirm that my patch doesn't interfere with your improved
    CPUidle? It's been Acked by Nicolas (thanks!) so I'd imagine it will
    land shortly. Kukjin: I assume you'll be taking this?
