First, forget anything I've ever said about 2.6.15-rc5-mm3 (or other -mm-s). I
unfortunately tagged along on a bugreport that was, and is, totally unrelated to
the present issue. Sorry - won't happen again.

My local fix was just a sledgehammer, intended for this machine only.

Regarding your other queries:

for anything lower than C2 - in accordance with linus' intent. Which is fine...
I don't mind patching locally. I'll attach an acpidump as per request, but I'm
rather confident in its 'correctness'.

_Slightly OT_

I've tried hacking include/acpi/processor.h (upping
ACPI_PROCESSOR_MAX_C2_LATENCY to overcome the manufacturer's sneaky 101 value),
and then 2.6.15-rc7 proper uses both C1 and C2. The downside is that this leads
to - significantly - _less_ powersave and _higher_ temperature than plain C1. On
an amd64 processor something has to be done with the PCI bridge to enable C2.
Can not find the correct info on the net.

Phew, time to go.
