Comment 178 for bug 1690085

@Tom the BIOS option on Gigabyte boards that disabled C6 is called "Global C-state Control". I think ASUS calls it the same thing.

@Eric interesting. IIRC I hung with just the rcu_nocbs kernel options set and C6 enabled, similar to Tom's experience.

All of this doesn't not change the fact that one should not have to do hacks to prevent the hardware from going "too idle".
