C2/C3 are only slow in older CPUs - and they are getting faster and
faster

C2/C3 are already slow. I more worry about C1.
Also doing two instead of one can have an impact even on C2+, especially
when the operation can be thousands of cycles.

That could be PM timer read costing tho

btw., this patch depends on the latest acpi tree, right?

idle time in a fine grained manner. But, it is not handling
the time spent in interrupts fully.
Make tick_sched.idle_sleeptime accurate with respect to time spen
