OK, this fixes my issue with the massive amount of wakeups:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/24/70

However the CPU does not really go to C1 or C2 after applying this patch to 
the latest git kernel:

Cn                Avg residency       P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running)        (99,4%)         1,80 Ghz     0,0%
C1                0,0ms ( 0,0%)         1,60 Ghz     0,0%
C2                0,0ms ( 0,6%)          800 Mhz   100,0%
