This is handled by the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment code. Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch into deeper C-States behind the kernels back. This delays the local apic timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable. Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi quirk for known broken systems. Andi sayeth: While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic -- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide spread we will just continue extending it. But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with it.

I also wonder if something logged to dmsg, explaining why a write failed, would be a good enhancement. I ended up having rummage arround in cpuset.c in order to work out why my configuration was failing.

Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense, especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive alternative to the existing ones. But we don't have a schedule at the moment.
