Actually I tried to add some C-states to the DSDT as I seen on the web
(http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2007-August/000890.html) but
didn't succeed : powertop did show the C-states, but wake-ups per
second's rate became an insane value (about 100 000) and use of
C-states was always the same (about 50% in C0 and 50% in C2),
even when modifying some known parameters to lower wake-ups rate.

The main difference between experiments is that their system did have
already C1&C2, but mine didn't have any before to try to modify DSDT.
So I wonder if updating Processor part of DSDT could be enough, or if
the BIOS should be aware of C-states management, which mine lacks for
sure.
