Hi!
Okay, so the problem seems to be we are using unreliable lapic
timer... which is stopped in C3 (and in C2 on broken machines).
I do not see any mechanism to disable lapic; there seems to be some
mechanism to work around stopped lapic timer is used (in
acpi/processor_idle.c) but it does not seem to work. So what about
this?
