Backporting intel_idle for LBM won't work at the moment. Testing has proven that because the acpi_idle driver is built into the kernel, it prevents the intel_idle driver from loading later on via LBM. This is because the core cpuidle driver is not capable of handling run-time changing of idle drivers. As a result, I will pursue getting these patches applied as a regular SRU to the Maverick kernel.
