It will be great to see some patches :D
i did some more powertop debuging to see what is the difference between
smp and non smp system.
Here are two dumps, i tried to do it more or less clean: "sleep 10;
powertop --dump"
dump with maxcpus=1:

========================================================================
With SMP it use less C0 and more C2,C4; with NONSMP it use mostly C0 and
C4 but is use _more_ power ...
If i start normal kernel also SMP but set one core offline after boot i
get this:

C4 is almost not used, but i still get bad performance.
Do PM behave differently if i start with one Core and if i desable one
core after start?
