Great to see this work going on.  I just got a Core Duo laptop so this 
would be great to see fixed.

I'm kinda disappointed you're not using newbus for your device methods, 
but I think I mentioned that before.

On the reset code, shouldn't there be some delays between writes to the 
registers?

+	outb(IO_ICU1, ICW1_RESET | ICW1_IC4);
+	outb(IO_ICU1 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, IDT_IO_INTS);
[delay?]
+	outb(IO_ICU1 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, 1 << 2);
[delay?]
+	outb(IO_ICU1 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, ICW4_8086);
[delay?]
+	outb(IO_ICU1 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, 0xff);
+	outb(IO_ICU1, OCW3_SEL | OCW3_RR);
+
+	outb(IO_ICU2, ICW1_RESET | ICW1_IC4);
+	outb(IO_ICU2 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, IDT_IO_INTS + 8);
[delay?]
+	outb(IO_ICU2 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, 2);
[delay?]
+	outb(IO_ICU2 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, ICW4_8086);
[delay?]
+	outb(IO_ICU2 + ICU_IMR_OFFSET, 0xff);
+	outb(IO_ICU2, OCW3_SEL | OCW3_RR);

The writes to the PM registers should happen from the BSP anyway, so 
sched_bind() is the right way to go.  I think you need to start them up 
the same as boot, including startup IPI and then enabling scheduling on 
them.
