I've been reading throught the APM spec and code a bit further. The more
I read the more I wonder quite how our idle code is meant to work and what
kind of beer was overconsumed during its writing.
There are two glaring issues I can see right now
#1 The BIOS might sleep for a tick, but it is also is allowed to slow
the cpu and return straight back to us.
If it returns back to us we spin in a tight loop at the lower clock
speed calling the APM bios. Not ideal.
Just fixed that in my tree for the next -ac
#2 We test system_idle() nr_running==1, but we spent all our time
pretending we aren't running. Im not 100% sure the test is safe
yet
