2007-02-26	Revert "[PATCH] i386: add idle notifier"	Linus Torvalds
	This reverts commit 2ff2d3d74705d34ab71b21f54634fcf50d57bdd5. Uwe Bugla reports that he cannot mount a floppy drive any more, and Jiri Slaby bisected it down to this commit. Benjamin LaHaise also points out that this is a big hot-path, and that interrupt delivery while idle is very common and should not go through all these expensive gyrations. Fix up conflicts in arch/i386/kernel/apic.c and arch/i386/kernel/irq.c due to other unrelated irq changes.

2007-02-13	[PATCH] i386: add idle notifier	Stephane Eranian
	Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop. You can register a callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle loop. The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call, or the mwait instruction. Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not considered part of the low level loop. The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless execution (or low power mode). The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off monitoring.
