[LIH] For 2.4.x users, about kapm-idled

[Shridhar Daithankar]

Hi all

This is for 2.4.x  users.

In kernel 2.4.x, a special process/kernel thread is created called as 
kapm-idled which fires HLT instructions so that cpu doesn't waste any energy 
when idle.

I found that on my home system it's eating much more than 30% CPU and I am 
experiencing a drastic reduction in performance.

A kernel recompile is the only option it seems. You need to turn off 
particular flag and recompile it.

 Shridhar
