Hello Philippe,
In my BIOS I disabled the "Cool 'n' quite" option (I think this is C1E for
AMD). I tried the patch again but I get a failure-message. I made the following
steps:
I save the patch to a file ("xen.patch"):

cd /usr/src/linux2.6.32.20

Then I get the following message:

Did I do something wrong?

This means that you are not running the patched kernel. There is no way
the c1e_idle routine which outputs the above message could run with it
applied.

This means you BIOS did not disable C1E properly. The CPU still
advertises this mode.
In fact, once C1E is properly disabled by the BIOS, you should not need
the patch at all.
Please check your BIOS setup and kernel install. You don't seem to be
running what you think you do actually.
