knoppix v6.7.1 shows a high wakeup rate, too.  But that is kernel 3.0, finnix
was the newest I could find.

Meanwhile I experimented with kernel v3.4 and idle=xxx in the commandline,
fully booted system (gnome, wlan, nfsclient):

idle=mwait    85 wakeups

idle=halt     85 wakeups

idle=poll     110 wakeups

idle=nomwait  low wakeups, system freeze

(no idle)     around 50.000 wakeups, system freeze

The freezes might be related to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13155, I haven't backported the old
EC driver to 3.4.

While powertop does no longer report CPU entering any C-states the system is
stable running idle=mwait since yesterday, suspends/resumes fine.  Does this
tell you something?  Is this a workaround or the recommended way to use a
tickless kernel in case of problems?
