The behavior is changed here. Previously we did the idle time to be all the time the CPU was not executing threads, and now it became just the time CPU was in a C-state. PowerTOP report probably has a noticeable difference. Because previously PowerTop would report time spent doing C-state setup+cleanup as part of idle time (not executing other threads). Any thoughts?
