I thought more about it and came up with an interesting challange for
the top hackers crowd:

Fix NOHZ/CPUIDLE along with suspend/resume on all participants
laptops, which are probably 50+ different models. That'd be an odd
enough mix of wreckaged hardware / BIOS / ACPI.

Should be fun and solve a bunch of hard to grok bugs in the bugzillas
along the way.
