Still, the code as it is before this patch doesn't use it given the 
empty arch_idle().  So I'm only providing the same behavior in a 
different form.

So if you can confirm the kernel works fine with that disable_hlt() 
commented out (while still including the rest of the patch) then I can 
change the patch.  And if you can measure a difference in power 
consumption when the system is idle then that would be even better.
