In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across the suspend/resume. Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time. The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set, when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.
