Looks like I said that backwards -- too many double-negatives:-)

Normal Tickless idle (CONFIG_N0_HZ=y) is working fine,
so lapic one-shot mode is working fine.

Old style tickfull idle (CONFIG_NO_HZ=n) is failing,
but it works with nolapic_timer -- so that suggests
LAPIC timer periodic mode is broken.

Now that ACPI C-states are enabled in your BIOS,
and it appears that intel_idle and acpi_idle are using
the same states, can you reproduce this issue with acpi via
CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n? (or simply boot with intel_idle.max_cstate=0)

If acpi_idle is behaving the same was as intel_idle, then
processor.max_cstate=1 should work
processor.max_cstate=2 should fail
