The quicktest gives indeterminate results.
However, it also is not using any idle state involving the least significant bit of MWAIT being set.

$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/name
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state0/name:POLL
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state1/name:C1_ACPI
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state2/name:C2_ACPI
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state3/name:C3_ACPI

$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/desc
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state0/desc:CPUIDLE CORE POLL IDLE
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state1/desc:ACPI FFH MWAIT 0x0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state2/desc:ACPI FFH MWAIT 0x30
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state3/desc:ACPI FFH MWAIT 0x60

If there is a way to make idle work like all previous ways, i.e.:

$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/name
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state0/name:POLL
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state1/name:C1
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state2/name:C1E
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state3/name:C3
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state4/name:C6

$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state*/desc
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state0/desc:CPUIDLE CORE POLL IDLE
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state1/desc:MWAIT 0x00
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state2/desc:MWAIT 0x01
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state3/desc:MWAIT 0x10
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state4/desc:MWAIT 0x20

I have not been able to figure out how.
