Subject: [PATCH] i386 No Idle Hz - aka Dynticks v051125-1

Here is an updated version of dynticks for i386

The major change in this version is I have attempted to address the problem
with the bus mastering accounting code which thinks bus mastering is
continually occurring and does not promote the power state into higher power
saving modes.

With this change I am able to reproduce power savings (at last) without any
other major changes, albeit rather modest, in the order of .4W at 1000HZ.
I don't know how this code will interact with laptops that support C4 which
has been causing rather weird behaviour with dynticks.

The known issue remaining with this version of dynticks is that ondemand cpu
scaling still does not recognise what the real cpu load is so it runs at
maximum frequency (on my hardware at least).

The latest version of this code can always be found here:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/dyn-ticks/

Rolled up patch included in this email.

Cheers,
Con
