I was just about to gather data to report the exact same problem in my
box, a no-brand non-mobile PC (AMD Athlon XP 1700+). Kernel version
2.6.13-rc2 and before correctly detected both C1 and C2 processor states,
so when the system is idle some energy and heat is preserved. Now, with
2.6.13-rc3-git8 only C1 gets detected, so no power save.

I am going to try the patch Andrew suggest in this same thread right now,
and will report back is this fixes the issue.

I inline a (trimmed) diff of two boots, the first with the (working)
2.6.13-rc2 kernel version, and the other with the (non-working)
2.6.13-rc3-git8 one. No changes in the .config file except for the new
options appeared in between (some options shuffling apart, the only change
relevant to the problem should be the new CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY=m):
