Elsewhere I've used CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR for this.

Anyway, I took it for a spin and it .... doesn't seems to do the job.

With my patch the first splat is

"RCU not on for: cpuidle_poll_time+0x0/0x70"

While with yours I seems to get the endless:

"WARNING: suspicious RCU usage"

thing. Let me see if I can figure out where it goes side-ways.
