My HP/Compaq V6107 still goes into a coma even with this patch.  If I
boot to single-user mode, it seems to happen immediately after the
CD-ROM probe messages (which would be when the system becomes idle).
Otherwise, it goes comatose whilst trying to load the entropy.

I've re-applied idlecpu_apic_5.diff and it seems to work with
hw.apic.idle_cpu="1" (but see below).  I've hacked local_apic.c
to save the value read from MSR_C001_0055 and that shows that
C1eOnCmpHalt is set.

Worse,I've noticed that the RTC interrupt occasionally stops.  I have
worked out that I can restart it by writing to sysctl machdep.adjkerntz
(which was the easiest way to issue rtcin(RTC_INTR) from userland).
I presume that occasionally the RTC interrupt is lost and so never
reset (as per the comment above rtcintr()).

I haven't yet tried using the i8254 as a wakeup source.

Any ideas on where to look next?
