This support (bugzilla 5653) shipped starting in 2.6.18, and I sent it to Adrian
for 2.6.16.stable -- and it appears it will pop out in 2.6.16.31.

Re: your 16 core machine running 2.6.9...
What does /proc/acpi/processor/*/power say?
I would expect it to say C1 only.

I would not expect this box to grow deeper C-states upon the support above.
The only SMP boxes with C-states deeper than C1 that I'm aware of today
are laptops.

cheers,
