could you please try the two patches below, do they fix the problem as
well? They got a ton of testing in x86.git in the past ~2 months and we
could perhaps still push them into v2.6.24.

Subject: x86: idle wakeup event in the HLT loop
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
do a proper idle-wakeup event on HLT as well - some CPUs stop the TSC
in HLT too, not just when going through the ACPI methods.
(the ACPI idle code already does this.)
[ update the 64-bit side too, as noticed by Jiri Slaby. ]
