This is normal for the current code -- we run C1 16 times and promote,
but if C2 latency is very low, we never demote to C1:

[root@d600 root]#  cat  /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power
active state:            C4
max_cstate:              C8
bus master activity:     00000000
states:
 C1: type[C1] promotion[C2] demotion[--] latency[001] usage[00000010] 
 C2: type[C2] promotion[C3] demotion[C1] latency[001] usage[00266192]
 C3: type[C3] promotion[C4] demotion[C2] latency[085] usage[00028664]
*C4: type[C3] promotion[--] demotion[C3] latency[185] usage[00359811]
