I hope it doesn't look quite like that, next-20140117 is -ENOBOOT on
Q6600 box.  See below for an alternative.

idle: kill unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs

Set/clear polling instead.

Q6600, pipe-test scheduling cross core:
3.8.13                   487.2 KHz    1.000
3.13.0-master            415.5 KHz     .852
3.13.0-master+           415.2 KHz     .852     + restore mwait_idle
3.13.0-master++          488.5 KHz    1.002     + restore mwait_idle + IPI fix
3.13.0-next-20140117     -ENOBOOT
3.13.0-next-20140117+    531.4 KHz    1.090     + IPI fix
