Maybe a dump question, but in the beginning of our discussion, we had:

There is a comment in acpi_processor_get_power_info_default it is
said that all processors need to support C1 at least. So (hypothesis), 
if my BIOS is not implemented as specified (neither _CST nor PBLK), 
shouldn't acpi_processor_get_power_info_default also bee called on my 
machine? Is the code exiting too early?
