I guess "mwait" is the right one, but let's try to ask experts.

This CPU doesn't support mwait. So, idle=halt is what you should be using. That said, halt based idle is what should be used on this system by default, unless it supports ACPI based C-states. Can you send in the dmesg, with 2.6.25 without any boot parameter.

can you get us /proc/cpuinfo ?
(only one of the cpus, the other ones are just duplicates)
if the CPU advertizes mwait, we normally ought to use it,
but there's some exceptions to that due to buggy-as-**** bioses.
can you also run powertop -d and get that output ?
(preferably on a fully known working kernel)

A USB device is active 0.0% of the time:

Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 5.00 to 15 seconds
with:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
This wakes the disk up less frequenty for background VM activity
Suggestion: enable the noatime filesystem option by executing the
following command:
mount -o remount,noatime / or by pressing the T key
noatime disables persistent access time of file accesses, which causes lots of disk IO.
Suggestion: Disable 'hal' from polling your cdrom with:
hal-disable-polling --device /dev/cdrom 'hal' is the component that auto-opens a
window if you plug in a CD but disables SATA power saving from kicking in.
Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT kernel configuration option.
This option allows PowerTOP to show P-state percentages
P-states correspond to CPU frequencies.
Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY kernel configuration option.
This option is required to get power estimages from PowerTOP
Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND kernel configuration option.
The 'ondemand' CPU speed governor will minimize the CPU power usage while
giving you performance when it is needed.
Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND kernel configuration option.
This option will automatically disable UHCI USB when not in use, and may
save approximately 1 Watt of power.

I do need some parameters to boot at all, notable "acpi=noirq" otherwise:
