Intrepid with kernel 2.6.27-7-generic

PowerTOP reports ~50000(!) wakeups-from-idle per second, while the six top causes for wakeups shown in the default view only add up to approx. 100. Avg residency for an idling system is ~60% "C0 (cpu running)", ~40% C2.

Adding the noapic kernel option results in only the aforementioned ~100 wakeups being listed, and ~99% C2. Cooling fan then alternates between low and medium speed, while it never slows down without noapic.
