3.2.2-pf kernel config

Latest working kernel I know: 2.6.32-zen7
Kernel I work on now: 3.2.2-pf

Distribution: Funtoo x86
Hardware: Asus A6RP BIOS: 214, on ATI IXP SB4xx and Intel Celeron m420 cpu

Overview:
I talking here what is going on in CLI. With AC adapter plugged in I have in
idle ~40 wakeups/sec. This is normal, but when I unplug power source, then
there`s going magic. In 2.6.32 power usage is ~16W and wakeups ~40-300.
Cn                Avg residency       P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running)        (56,5%)
polling          0,0ms ( 0,0%)
C1 halt          1,4ms ( 0,1%)
C2          0,0ms (43,5%)
C3          0,5ms ( 0,0%)

Wakeups-from-idle per second : 85103,9    interval: 15,0s
Power usage (ACPI estimate): 20,7W (1,3 hours) 
Top causes for wakeups:
  50,7% ( 20,9)   BFS
  47,2% ( 19,5)   [extra timer interrupt]
   1,5% (  0,6)   [pata_atiixp] <interrupt>
   0,5% (  0,2)   init
   0,2% (  0,1)   X 

This is huge problem, because power usage is going up to ~24-25W and on battery
form 3.5h to 2h or lower.
>From what I remember this odd behaviour on zen is from 2.6.33. I check newest
stable on vanilla: 2.6.32.57 and 2.6.33.20. On 3.2.1 vanilla this was still
present. Next kernel was 3.2.2-pf.

Steps to reproduce: 
Get Asus a6rp, boot and unplug ac adapter.
