+2. Many architectures will place dyntick-idle CPUs into deep sleep
+ states, which further degrades from-idle transition latencies.

I think this part should just be deleted.
On x86, the deeper idle states are even used with non-tickless system (the break even times are
quite a bit less than even 1 msec).
I can't imagine that ARM is worse on this, at which point the statement above is highly dubious
