I thought more about it and came up with an interesting challange for the top hackers crowd: Fix NOHZ/CPUIDLE along with suspend/resume on all participants laptops, which are probably 50+ different models. That'd be an odd enough mix of wreckaged hardware / BIOS / ACPI. Should be fun and solve a bunch of hard to grok bugs in the bugzillas along the way. Thanks, tglx
