not a dumb question at all - i forgot about it. Find the updated patch 
below.

( sidenote: this shows the x86 unification concept in action. You
  noticed the missing _64.c probably because you saw a _32.c file 
  modified in the patch and the rule is that if we modify a _32.c file 
  then the matching _64.c file needs to be updated too. If this had been
  an old-style pre-unification arch/i386/kernel/process.c file you'd not
  have been able to tell this from just looking at the patch file - and
  we'd possibly have missed to include a fix on the 64-bit side. With
  the unification of files we are realizing it how many times this
  happened in the past (and went unnoticed). )

Subject: x86: idle wakeup event in the HLT loop
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

do a proper idle-wakeup event on HLT as well - some CPUs stop the TSC
in HLT too, not just when going through the ACPI methods.

(the ACPI idle code already does this.)

[ update the 64-bit side too, as noticed by Jiri Slaby. ]
