SubjectRe: acpi_idle: Very idle Core i7 machine never enters C3
Jeff,
What do you see if you apply just the patch below?

Also, in addition to "powertop -d" to show what the kernel requests,
please run turbostat to show what the hardware actually did:

http://userweb.kernel.org/~lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools-latest/turbostat/turbostat.c

eg.
# turbostat -d -v sleep 5

thanks,
-Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
