Sadly, it seems this isn't helping much. My netbook still idles at ~60
centigrade on and off power. I will verify that before this change I was
able to idle cooler when off power just to be sure.

I do see the C4 state both on and off power, so that's nice at least.
I'm just perplexed why my netbook runs so hot when idle. I even killed X
to see if it was really the gpu that was heating everything inside up,
but it didn't change anything.
