You folks may recall that I posted some code here a few days ago that enabled C2 idling on AMD-760MP(X) chipset based systems via harware. Something I noticed when looking through processor.c in the ACPI code is that it wants to idle each CPU individually, which I have observed cannot be done with the AMD-760MP(X) chipsets. C2 and C3 idle is applied to both CPUs at once, there is not choice of which CPU to idle and which to not idle. On how many other chipsets is this also the case?
