We're using intel_idle, so we should be making idle state determination 
regardless of what ACPI tells us. So is Darwin mode influencing the 
state of some MSR that controls whether PC6 can be entered? Is the GPU 
blocking it because of some configuration difference? I don't know 
enough about how the chip decides to enter PC6 to be able to tell.
