[PATCH] cpuidle: avoid singing capacitors

[nclm]

A lot of thinkpad users have problems with some sort of high pitch noise (see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_high_pitch_noises ). There is a patch and some ongoing discussion about that noise in general at: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/10039/focus=10088

Perhaps this patch should be applied to ubuntus current kernel to avoid that noise.

Thanks nclm,

Reassigning this to the kernel team to look at. Thanks.

Hi nclm,

I've had a look at the discussion on http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/10039/focus=10088 and concluded that the workaround(s) are still in a state of flux at the moment and probably need time to settle in before I apply the necessary patch, hence I won't be adding them to Hardy so late in the Alpha stage.
