What's the most comprehensive way to verify this? I booted Cardhu with
these patches applied and saw that all CPU cores did enter both idle
states. However, I'm unsure what the best way to stress the system is,
i.e. how would I stress and test for correct handling of all the L2
caching/SMP coherency issues, etc.
