I haven't yet measured if this really saves a significant amount of
power, but I made a kernel patch closely based on the vcool patch
from http://www.naggelgames.de/vcool/
This patch is extremely experimental, but it didn't crash my
machine, yet ;-) Some things could probably be more elegant.
Feel free to comment or use this patch as you like.
It does only use stpclk if you boot with idle=stpclk
