RE: Cpuidle task list

["Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com>]

I sent a mail to Adam to look at these...
Max_cstate is what I observed once. I don't have more data.
Sysfs output issue has below details. About the third wraparound issue
Adam knows the bug and can probably fix it faster.

Thanks,
Venki
