[ACPI] [PATCH] i386 No Idle HZ aka dynticks v051205

[Con K. <ke...@ko...>]

Here is an updated rollup patch for current dynticks on i386.

The main change to this version is the inclusion of Dominik's patches to
cpufreq ondemand, acpi c-states and bus mastering which should start making
the potential power saving features of dyntick a reality (thanks!).
One buildfix for !CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ as well.

If you get strange stalls with this patch then almost certainly it is a
problem with dynticks and your apic so booting with the "noapic" option
should fix it.

Split out patches, timertop and pmstats utilities and latest patch available
here:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/dyn-ticks/

=46AQ:
What Hz should I use with dynticks in the config?
1000 to realise the benefits of the power saving features and low latency.

Should I enable timer statistics?
Only if you're planning on using the timertop utility to help you recognise
the biggest sources of timers currently in use to help you improve power
savings.

Cheers,
Con

+	  This option enables support for skipping timer ticks when the

+
