Very cool. I doubt my opinion matters a whole lot, but I think this patch should ship with the 12.04 kernel, and RC6 (but not deep RC6) should be enabled by default (without passing a kernel parameter manually) for Sandy Bridge machines in 12.04. This is a HUGE power savings, and 12.04 is a very big release, being an LTS and all. I think all these power issues have really given Ubuntu a bad reputation.
