From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koski...@iki.fi>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit c796d1d97c3035cf54d4d5a9e75abd094db80e76 upstream.
Limit idle ticks to total ticks. This prevents the annoying rackmeter
leds fully ON / OFF blinking state that happens on fully idling
G5 Xserve systems.
