Andrej, your patch doesn't work when compiled as a module
because of a name mismatch.

I went in and cleaned the patch up a bit. Now there is only
one extra parameter, called "idle_threshold", which you can
set to 100 if you want to disable use of APM BIOS idling.

I have combined this tweaked idle patch with the
notification patch and made it available here:
http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/apm.html
Patch is against 2.4.17.

I hope lots of people will test it. It's working fine for me.
