state0 is still OS idle!
the API is just weird for this, from a userspace perspective
if the kernel picks this state 0 for the idle handler, the userspace app
gets
two events
one for going to state 0 to enter the idle state
one for going to state 0 to exit idle
but they're the exact same event in your API.
rather unpleasant from a userspace program perspective....
now I need to start tracking even more state on top in powertop to be
able to make a guess at which of the two meanings a state 0 entry has.
