The most common idle function for x86 is: mwait_idle_with_hints(),
trouble is, its an inline, so I'm not sure adding __cpuidle to it does
anything.

I've yet to find the magic objdump incantation to check. Or rather
objdump -h doesn't appear to list .cpuidle.text at all :/

I'm probably doing something silly...
