Well, in theory, the interrupt would be generated *before* the hardware
goes to RC6; when idle, I'm not exactly sure what the hardware would be
doing to generate interrupts.

Yeah, knowing that there might be interrupt funnies due to RC6 goes some
way to explaining why just avoiding RC6 helps.

I wonder if any of this might explain the RC6 issues we see on SNB on
some hardware, and whether we should give this a try... I know, grasping
at straws, but still, it's about all we have at this point.
