There were almost no changes in the ACPI idle driver between 4.6 and
4.7-rc, so the reason is somewhere else.

Have you tried any earlier 4.7-rc?

The only change between 4.6 and now in the ACPI processor stuff at all is
this one

86314751c794 ACPI / processor: Avoid reserving IO regions too early

so does it help if that's reverted?

Otherwise, any chances to bisect?

Thanks,
Rafael
