So I did some git archeology but that particular addition is in some
conglomerate, glued-together patch from 2007 which added the cpuidle
tree:
commit 4f86d3a8e297205780cca027e974fd5f81064780
Author: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
Date: Wed Oct 3 18:58:00 2007 -0400
cpuidle: consolidate 2.6.22 cpuidle branch into one patch
so the most precise check here should be to limit that dummy read to
that Intel chipset which needed it. Damned if I knew how to figure out
which...
