And I'm not surprised, because the original patch forced a 5 seconds event
in the broadcast device on resume, aside of limiting the reprogramming.

What that old patch did, was:

1) Make sure that the broadcast device is actually armed at resume.

   That might cause the HPET to resume proper.

2) Force a max. 3 seconds rearm when the targeted expiry time is > than 10
   seconds

   That might make sure that lower C-States are never entered.

What's the lowest C-State with acpi-idle and what's the lowest one with
intel_idle?
