Hi,

I was testing v2.6.26-rc7 by running lmbench and hotplug/-unplugging
CPUs and a few other programs at the same time. Powertop was showing a
negative number of wakeups/second and average C3 residency was
something really insane. Is there anything strange with this schedstat
file, or is there another file I should look at that can explain the
strange powertop numbers? Or maybe it's just an artifact of powertop
and this has nothing to do with the kernel?

    powertop:

    Cn                Avg residency       P-states (frequencies)
    C0 (cpu running)        (105.5%)        1467 Mhz    80.7%
    C1                0.0ms ( 0.0%)         1067 Mhz     0.4%
    C2                0.0ms ( 0.0%)          800 Mhz    19.0%
    C3                0.0ms (1288344194138.5%)

    Wakeups-from-idle per second : -6.2     interval: 2.0s
