Yeah, they have to set it back to polling again :/
Ideally we'd sweep the entire tree and switch the default polling state
to polling and add a current_clr_polling_and_test() to all WFI/HLT like
ones that need the interrupt.
But lots of work that.

Yah.

Urgh, looks like something went wrong with: cf37b6b48428d
That commit doesn't actually remove kernel/cpu/idle.c nor is the new
code an exact replica of the old one.
Ingo, any chance we can get that fixed?
Daniel; does the below change/comment clarify?

Subject: sched/idle: Fixup merge fail of idle.c move
Commit cf37b6b48428d ("sched/idle: Move cpu/idle.c to sched/idle.c")
said to simply move a file; somehow it got mangled and created an old
version of the file and forgot to remove the old file.
Fix this fail; add the lost change and remove the now identical old
file.
