Hi Greg,

please pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6.36.git idle-release

to sync 2.6.36.y with upstream changes to the intel_idle driver.

After applying this series, 2.6.36.y and upstream intel_idle.c
are identical.

This will update the files shown below.

thanks!

intel_idle: do not use the LAPIC timer for ATOM C2

If we use the LAPIC timer during ATOM C2 on
some nvidia chisets, the system stalls.

intel_idle: delete bogus data from cpuidle_state.power_usage

The mW data in this field is a total fabrication
and serves no purpose other than to mislead
those who might see it in sysfs. Delete it.

intel_idle: simplify test for leave_mm()

A run-time test to invoke leave_mm() for the deepest
supported C-state is redundant, since the appropriate
C-states already have flags with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TLB_FLUSHED set.

x86, mwait: Move mwait constants to a common header file

We have MWAIT constants spread across three different .c files, for no
good reason. Move them all into a common header file.
