What problem did you face with intel_idle driver? Is it suspend/resume
related?

I see a comment in drivers/idle/intel_idle.c such as:

/*
* Known limitations
* [...]
*
* ACPI has a .suspend hack to turn off deep c-statees during suspend
* to avoid complications with the lapic timer workaround.
* Have not seen issues with suspend, but may need same workaround here.
*
*/

So, if you are facing suspend issues with the intel_idle driver, we probably
need to add that same workaround here as well, to make it work.

Please let us know what problem you are facing.
