.. the main reason to use machdep.idle=hlt is that it is a different code path. But to ensure you're always going via the hlt codepath, you _first_ have to disable mwait. The idle code first decides whether to run mwait or <idle>, then if it doesn't choose mwait, it chooses machdep.idle. That's why you first have to disable idle_wait. -adrianReceived on Wed Nov 06 2013 - 19:50:02 UTC
