[PATCH] add i386 idle notifier (take 3)

From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Wed Dec 20 2006 - 09:14:49 EST

Hello,

Here is the latest version of the idle notifier for i386.
This patch is against 2.6.20-rc1 (GIT). In this kernel, the idle
loop code was modified such that the lowest level idle
routines do not have loops anymore (e.g., poll_idle). As such,
we do not need to call enter_idle() in all the interrupt handlers.

This patch also duplicates the x86-64 bug fix for a race condition
as posted by Venkatesh Pallipadi from Intel.

changelog:
- add idle notification mechanism to i386
