This means non GPL modules will disturb your timers again. probably not
a good strategy.

Consider a dual core Yonah/Merom: it has shared caches and the two cores
can only go to sleep together. With this the wakeups will be always

and e.g. only spread it for sockets.
BTW we normally put spaces around operators inside expressions.
